HR built for Bengaluru’s hiring speed and GCC scale
No other Indian city concentrates technology hiring the way Bengaluru does. Product firms on the Outer Ring Road, GCCs in Whitefield, and startups in Koramangala and HSR all compete for the same talent, often onboarding hundreds in a quarter. TMS builds payroll and staffing that keeps pace, so headcount growth never outruns your compliance or your offer-to-joining timelines.
Scale exposes gaps quickly. A Karnataka Professional Tax slip, an ESI registration, a contractor roster spread across Peenya and Bommasandra: each one multiplies as you grow. We run these processes centrally from our Mumbai and Vadodara offices, giving your Bengaluru operation one accountable team for pay, records, and statutory filings across every district you occupy.
HR Compliance Landscape in Bengaluru and Karnataka
Employing in Bengaluru means meeting both Karnataka state obligations and central law. Here is what applies, with the figures current after the 2025 Professional Tax amendment.
Karnataka Compliance Requirements
Employers in Bengaluru must meet these obligations alongside central laws:
- Professional Tax: under the Karnataka Act of 1976 as amended in 2025, nil up to Rs 24,999 a month and Rs 200 monthly at Rs 25,000 and above, Rs 300 in February, capped at Rs 2,500 a year, remitted by the 20th.
- Labour Welfare Fund: under the Karnataka Act of 1965, Rs 50 from the employee and Rs 100 from the employer, Rs 150 in total, paid once a year in December.
- Shops and Establishments: registration and record-keeping under the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961, covering working hours, leave, and holidays.
- Minimum Wages: pay at or above the scheduled Karnataka minimum wage for each role, revised periodically by the state and tracked by category.
- Contract Labour: licensing, registers, and principal-employer duties where contract workers are engaged, common across Bengaluru’s IT parks and industrial belts.
- Central laws: PF, ESI, TDS, POSH, and the four Labour Codes apply to Bengaluru employers alongside Karnataka rules.

Frequently Asked Questions About HR Services in Bengaluru
How is Professional Tax calculated for employees in Bengaluru?
Under the Karnataka Act as amended in 2025, no Professional Tax is deducted up to Rs 24,999 a month. At Rs 25,000 and above, deduct Rs 200 each month, Rs 300 in February, with an annual cap of Rs 2,500. Employers remit it by the 20th of the following month. TMS handles the deduction and remittance as part of payroll.
Can TMS employ staff in Bengaluru if we have no company registered in India?
Yes. Through our Employer of Record service, TMS employs your Bengaluru hires on our records and runs their payroll, benefits, PF, ESI, and Karnataka compliance. You direct their daily work while we carry the legal employment obligations, which lets foreign and out-of-state firms hire here without setting up a local entity first.
Does TMS have an office in Bengaluru?
No. TMS operates from two offices, our Mumbai headquarters and a branch in Vadodara. We support Bengaluru employers remotely and centrally, managing payroll, staffing, and Karnataka statutory work for teams across the city without needing a local branch.
Which compliance obligations are specific to Karnataka?
State-specific duties include Professional Tax under the 1976 Act as amended in 2025, the Labour Welfare Fund contribution of Rs 150 paid each December, registration under the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act of 1961, and the state minimum wage. Central laws such as PF, ESI, TDS, POSH, and the four Labour Codes apply on top of these.
