Outsourcing HR Services in Mumbai

For Businesses That Move Fast

Why Mumbai? Because Opportunity Lives Here

Mumbai is where industries grow, startups turn into success stories, and companies move from local to national scale. It’s a city that attracts talent, rewards speed, and never really stops working. For businesses, expanding here means more reach, more visibility, and more potential to scale. But with that pace comes pressure — especially when it comes to building and managing the right teams.

That’s where we come in.

At Team Management Services (TMS), we help businesses grow in Mumbai without getting caught up in the daily challenges of HR. From hiring and onboarding to compliance and staff management, we handle it all — so your team can focus on results, not routine.

Mumbai’s Growth Engine — Projects & Zones That Power Business

Mumbai’s strength isn’t just in its ambition — it’s in its infrastructure. The city is undergoing a major transformation, and that’s opening new doors for businesses across sectors.

Upcoming projects like the Mumbai Metro Expansion, Coastal Road, Atal Setu, and Samruddhi Mahamarg are cutting down commute times and connecting talent pools like never before. These developments make operations smoother, warehousing more accessible, and staffing more flexible.

Industrial and commercial areas such as Andheri MIDC, Marol, Chakala, Sakinaka, Wadala, and Lower Parel are becoming high-demand zones for companies setting up offices, warehouses, and production units. For any business looking to grow or hire here, now is the right time — and TMS is ready with local HR expertise to support that journey.

HR Compliance Landscape in Mumbai and Maharashtra

Mumbai, India’s financial capital and home to the Bombay Stock Exchange, hosts over 30 lakh registered businesses ranging from multinational headquarters in BKC to manufacturing hubs in Thane-Belapur. Employers operating in Mumbai must comply with Maharashtra-specific labour regulations in addition to central laws — making statutory compliance particularly complex.

Maharashtra-Specific Compliance Requirements

Maharashtra has one of India’s most detailed compliance frameworks for employers. Key state-specific obligations include:

Maharashtra Professional Tax: Monthly deduction of ₹200 for employees earning above ₹7,500/month (₹300 in February). Maharashtra has among the lowest PT thresholds in India.
Maharashtra Labour Welfare Fund: Employer contributes ₹18 per employee and employee contributes ₹6 per employee, payable half-yearly by January 15 and July 15.
Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act: All commercial establishments in Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, and Pune must register within 30 days of commencement. The Act governs working hours (9 hours/day, 48 hours/week), overtime at double rates, mandatory weekly off, and annual leave of 21 days.
BOCW Cess (Building and Other Construction Workers): Applicable for construction projects above ₹10 lakh — relevant for Mumbai’s massive infrastructure expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions About HR Services in Mumbai

What is the professional tax rate in Mumbai for employers?

In Maharashtra, employers must deduct professional tax monthly: ₹200/month for employees earning above ₹7,500, with ₹300 deducted in February. The employer must also pay a separate employer PT of ₹2,500/year. Registration under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act is mandatory within 30 days of hiring the first employee.

How does contract staffing work in Mumbai’s BFSI sector?

Mumbai’s banking and financial services sector relies heavily on contract staffing for roles like data entry, customer support, and back-office processing. Under TMS’s contract staffing model, TMS becomes the legal employer, handles PF, ESIC, PT, and LWF deductions, and ensures compliance with both central labour laws and Maharashtra-specific regulations including the Shops and Establishments Act.

Can foreign companies hire in Mumbai without setting up a subsidiary?

Yes. Through Employer of Record (EOR) services, foreign companies can hire employees in Mumbai within 48 hours. The EOR provider (like TMS) handles employment contracts compliant with Indian law, payroll processing in INR, all statutory deductions (PF, ESIC, PT, LWF, TDS), and employee benefits administration. This eliminates the need for company registration, GST registration, and PF/ESIC establishment codes.

What are the Shops and Establishments Act requirements in Mumbai?

Every commercial establishment in Mumbai must register under the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017. Requirements include: registration within 30 days, display of registration certificate, maintenance of employee registers, adherence to working hour limits (9 hours/day), overtime payment at 2x normal wages, mandatory weekly holiday, and 21 days annual leave after 12 months of service.
