Statutory Compliance Services in Delhi NCR — HR Compliance for Haryana, UP & Delhi Employers

Delhi NCR is India’s largest metropolitan employment cluster. It spans three state jurisdictions — Delhi, Haryana (Gurugram, Faridabad), and Uttar Pradesh (Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad). Statutory compliance services in Delhi NCR must navigate three distinct state-level legal frameworks simultaneously, alongside central laws on PF and ESIC. This makes NCR one of the most complex compliance environments in India.

Whether your offices are in Connaught Place, your manufacturing unit is in Manesar, or your tech team sits in Noida Sector 62, TMS provides unified statutory compliance management across the entire NCR geography. We’ve served Delhi NCR employers for over 20 years.

Three States, One Compliance Problem

Most NCR businesses operate across more than one state. A company headquartered in Delhi may have its sales office in Gurugram (Haryana) and its delivery centre in Noida (Uttar Pradesh). Each state has its own Shops & Establishments Act, Professional Tax rules, LWF applicability, and minimum wage schedules. Coordinating this across three separate labour departments without a specialist partner is a recipe for non-compliance.

TMS acts as a single point of accountability for your entire NCR compliance portfolio — across all three states, all statutes, and all deadlines.

State-Specific Compliance Data for Delhi NCR

Delhi — Professional Tax

Delhi does not levy Professional Tax. Employers based solely in Delhi are exempt from PT deductions and filings. However, employees working in Gurugram or Noida locations fall under Haryana and UP PT respectively.

Haryana (Gurugram) — Professional Tax

Salary up to ₹7,500/month: Nil
Salary ₹7,501–₹10,000/month: ₹150/month
Salary above ₹10,000/month: ₹200/month
Annual ceiling: ₹2,400 per employee
Due date: 28th of each month

Uttar Pradesh (Noida) — Professional Tax

UP levies a professional tax on certain categories of professionals and traders. For employed individuals, PT applicability in UP is limited and category-specific. TMS assesses PT liability on a case-by-case basis for Noida-based employees.

Delhi: Delhi LWF applies to commercial establishments. Contributions are made bi-annually.
Haryana: Haryana LWF contribution rates apply to covered establishments in Gurugram and Faridabad.

Industries with Complex Compliance in Delhi NCR

IT & Consulting (Cyber City Gurugram, Noida Sector 62): Large MNC offices with blended permanent, contractual, and gig workforces. Multi-state PT, LWF, and minimum wage compliance management across Delhi, Haryana, and UP is essential.
Government & PSU Contractors: Central government contractors in Delhi must comply with Contract Labour Act and Minimum Wages for their contract workforce. Central CLRA registration and Form II maintenance are mandatory.
Manufacturing (Manesar, Faridabad, Greater Noida): Auto ancillary and electronics manufacturers in NCR’s industrial belt employ large contract workforces. Factories Act, BOCW, and CLRA apply. Haryana-specific minimum wages for various occupational categories differ from Delhi and UP.
E-Commerce & Retail (Gurgaon, Noida): Large e-commerce players with dark stores and delivery operations employ thousands of gig and contract workers. ESIC, PF, and minimum wages compliance for last-mile delivery workers is increasingly scrutinised.
Real Estate & Infrastructure: BOCW registration and cess payment for construction projects across NCR. Builder and developer employers must maintain worker welfare fund compliance under UP and Haryana BOCW rules.

Unified Monthly Filing: Despite three state jurisdictions, TMS provides a single-window filing service — all monthly returns are processed and confirmed before their respective deadlines.
Centralised Reporting: Your HR team receives a consolidated compliance report for all NCR locations, regardless of which state each office sits in.
Regulatory Response: TMS interfaces with Delhi, Haryana, and UP labour departments and the EPFO/ESIC regional offices for any notices, inspections, or clarification requests.

The 2025 Labour Codes in Delhi NCR

India’s four Labour Codes have been in force nationwide since 21 November 2025. Delhi has notified its draft rules under all four codes and is moving toward final notification.

More immediately, the Delhi Shops & Establishments (Amendment) Act, 2026 is already in force (11 March 2026): it now applies only to establishments with 20+ employees, raises the working day to 10 hours and the week to 60, caps overtime at 144 hours a quarter, and permits women on night shifts with safeguards. The draft code rules also carry the headline national changes — the 50% basic-wage rule, mandatory appointment letters for every employee, and government approval for retrenchment at 300+ workers.

TMS tracks Delhi’s draft code rules and the live Shops & Establishments amendment together, so Delhi-NCR employers are compliant today and ready for the codes the moment they finalise.

Status last verified: 30 May 2026. Delhi’s code rules are still being finalised; we update this page as they progress.

Frequently Asked Questions — Statutory Compliance in Delhi NCR

1. Our Gurugram office is registered in Delhi — which state’s Shops Act applies?

The Shops & Establishments Act follows the physical location of the establishment, not the registered office state. An office physically located in Gurugram must register under the Haryana Shops & Commercial Establishments Act, regardless of where the company is incorporated.

2. Do we need separate EPFO and ESIC registrations for our Delhi and Gurugram offices?

PF and ESIC registrations are employer-level (by PAN or establishment code). If the Delhi and Gurugram offices are under the same legal entity and the same EPFO code, employees from both can be covered under one code. However, if they are separate legal entities, separate registrations are required. TMS assesses your structure and advises accordingly.

3. Does Delhi NCR have a central government minimum wage that overrides state rates?

Yes and no. The central government sets minimum wages for centrally scheduled employments (railways, mines, etc.) and for Delhi establishments under central authority. However, Delhi’s own minimum wage schedule is among India’s highest for commercial establishments and is revised by the Delhi government. Haryana and UP maintain separate schedules. TMS tracks all three.

4. We have contract cleaners and security staff in our Noida facility — is ESIC mandatory?

Yes. Contract workers engaged by a principal employer through a registered contractor are covered under ESIC if they earn below ₹21,000/month and the establishment has 10+ employees. The contractor is the primary employer for ESIC purposes, but the principal employer is jointly liable. TMS ensures both contractor and principal employer filings are current.

5. How does TMS handle compliance for a company with offices in Delhi, Gurugram, and Noida simultaneously?

TMS acts as a single-window compliance manager for your entire NCR footprint. We maintain separate state compliance trackers for Delhi, Haryana, and UP, process all filings on respective deadlines, and deliver a unified monthly compliance report. You get one point of contact, zero compliance gaps. See our statutory compliance services for full scope.
