HR for Surat’s textiles, diamonds and industry
Surat cuts and polishes most of the world’s diamonds and weaves a large share of India’s fabric, then adds heavy industry at Hazira on top. It is a city of dense, skilled and contract-heavy workforces. TMS runs payroll, contract staffing and compliance for Surat employers from our Mumbai head office and Vadodara branch inside Gujarat, so your floors stay staffed and compliant.

Why Surat employers work with TMS
Surat’s workforces are large and fast-moving. A Sachin textile unit and a Katargam diamond house run on skilled and contract labour with heavy wage registers, while Hazira carries technical shopfloor teams for petrochemicals and engineering. TMS has managed high-volume contract and shopfloor payroll since 2006, so scale and churn are familiar rather than daunting.
With a branch in Vadodara we sit inside Gujarat, close enough to Surat for onboarding, audits and site checks, while payroll and statutory filing run centrally from Mumbai. You get one team handling Gujarat Professional Tax, PF, ESI and Labour Welfare Fund, plus the contractor licences and registers that Surat’s dense workforces demand.
HR Compliance Landscape in Surat and Gujarat
Surat employers meet Gujarat state obligations alongside central law, with contract and shopfloor scale adding to the load. Here is what applies.
Gujarat Compliance Requirements
Employers in Surat must meet these obligations alongside central laws:
- Professional Tax: Under the Gujarat State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1976, salaries up to Rs 12,000 a month are exempt and salaries above Rs 12,000 attract Rs 200 a month, capped at Rs 2,500 a year, filed monthly by employers with fewer than 20 staff and quarterly by larger ones.
- Labour Welfare Fund: Under the Gujarat Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1953, the contribution is Rs 6 from the employee and Rs 12 from the employer, Rs 18 in total per half-year, paid in June and December for establishments with 10 or more employees.
- Shops and Establishments: Commercial establishments register under the Gujarat Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2019, covering working hours, leave and records.
- Minimum Wages: Gujarat notifies minimum wage rates by industry and skill and revises the dearness allowance component periodically, which matters across Surat’s textile, diamond and shopfloor roles.
- Contract Labour: Surat’s dense contract workforces bring registration, licensing and register duties under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, with the principal employer accountable.
- Central laws: PF, ESI, TDS, POSH and the four Labour Codes apply on top of the state obligations and account for most of the recurring filing work.
