Indian labour law has 100+ moving parts. We own them.
PF returns by the 15th. ESIC by the 21st. Professional Tax differs per state. LWF is half-yearly in some states, monthly in others. Bonus needs Form D. Gratuity needs Form L. We track every one of them, every month, for every state.

The 2025 Labour Codes are now in force. Most employers still aren’t ready.
On 21 November 2025, India’s four new Labour Codes replaced 29 legacy laws — overhauling how wages, social security, industrial relations and workplace safety are governed. Central and state rules are rolling out through 2026, and every one of these changes touches your payroll, your contracts and your statutory filings. Here’s what’s hitting employers hardest.
The 50% wage rule
Basic + DA must now be at least half of total CTC. Allowances above 50% get pulled into “wages” — inflating PF, ESI and gratuity. Almost every existing salary structure needs reworking.
Gratuity from year one
Fixed-term and contract staff now earn gratuity after 12 months — not 5 years. Project and seasonal hiring just got more expensive to get wrong.
Appointment letters for everyone
A written appointment letter is now mandatory for every single employee. Most SMEs have never issued them — and that gap is now an offence.
One registration, all-digital returns
29 laws collapse into a single registration, licence and return — filed online. Legacy registrations have to be migrated correctly, or filings bounce.
Social security widens
Gig, platform and contract workers are now inside the social-security net, and ESIC coverage expands to every district. New categories of worker, new contributions.
A single definition of “wages”
One uniform definition now runs across all four codes. PF, ESI, bonus and gratuity all have to be recalculated on the new base.
We didn’t wait for the deadline. TMS has already re-modelled salary structures, re-papered employment contracts and migrated registrations for the clients on our books — so when the rules tighten, there’s no scramble. Most HR vendors are still sending “awareness” emails. We’ve done the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you take over compliance mid-year?
Yes — we handle ~30% of new client onboardings mid-year. We migrate registers, audit prior filings, and assume responsibility from a clean cutover date.
What if our previous vendor missed something?
Our compliance audit identifies gaps before cutover. Remediation work is scoped separately — often we can clean up 12+ months of issues in a few weeks.
Do you handle multi-state employees?
Yes — state-wise contribution, return, and registration. Transfer between states triggers automatic re-registration.
Is liability transferred to TMS?
Statutory liability legally sits with the employer of record. TMS guarantees execution accuracy — any penalty caused by our process error is reimbursed.
