For global consulting firms, government technology companies, enterprise software providers, and BFSI firms with India regulatory exposure, Delhi NCR is the GCC location of choice.

Frequently Asked Questions: GCC Setup in Delhi NCR
1. Is Gurugram or Noida better for a consulting GCC in NCR?
Gurugram (Cyber City, DLF, Golf Course Road) is the established hub for consulting and BFSI GCCs, with the highest concentration of MNC offices in North India. Noida (Sector 62, 125) is better suited for IT product and software GCCs, with lower costs and strong tech talent. TMS advises on location based on your team profile and budget.
2. How does TMS manage compliance across three states in NCR simultaneously?
TMS operates a unified NCR compliance management system. We maintain separate state compliance trackers for Delhi, Haryana, and UP, file all returns before their respective state deadlines, and deliver a single consolidated compliance report to your team monthly. You get zero-gap compliance across all three jurisdictions without managing three separate vendors.
3. Is there any Professional Tax in Delhi for our GCC employees?
No. Delhi does not levy Professional Tax. Employees working in Delhi offices have no PT deduction. However, if some of your NCR team works from Gurugram (Haryana), PT of ₹200/month applies for salaries above ₹10,000. TMS handles PT for Haryana employees and ensures Delhi employees are correctly excluded.
4. Can a GovTech GCC in Delhi use the EOR model if it works on government contracts?
Yes. The EOR model is appropriate for GovTech GCCs where the parent entity holds the government contracts. TMS employs the team in India; the parent entity manages the contract relationship with the government client. This is a common structure for global GovTech firms launching India operations. However, some government contracts have specific subcontracting restrictions, TMS advises on a case-by-case basis.
5. How large is the MBA talent pool in Gurugram for a consulting GCC?
Gurugram and Delhi NCR have India’s largest MBA-trained consulting workforce. IIM-Ahmedabad, IIM-Bangalore, ISB, FMS Delhi, and IIT-Delhi alumni are concentrated in the NCR consulting sector to a degree unmatched elsewhere. For consulting, strategy, and enterprise transformation GCCs, NCR is the richest talent source in India.
