Our company in India operates from Bangalore, India.
Touted as one of the fastest growing economy in the world, India has remain unfazed by its recent slowdown. However, most organisations venturing into India face roadblocks that often make the processes we take for granted elsewhere a challenge here. Basic necessities like employment of a foreigner, administering of payroll, paying taxes are not that straightforward.
The Innovare Group provides a full contract management model in India specific to your requirements operating in multiple industries. We usually refer to this model as the Employee of Record (EOR) model. Some of the characteristics are elaborated below.
We are able to assist whether you or your consultant is an expatriate or local in India.
We have a team of payroll, immigration and compliance specialists ready to provide professional advice in terms of contracting.
How Innovare India can assist:
Immigration laws in most countries in Asia Pac often hold a local entity responsible for the entry, wellbeing, good behaviour and eventual exit of the individual. This also ensures that local immigration and employment laws are adhered to. This host company will be the technical employer of the individual.
We assist with the sponsorship of the work visa. Please speak to your Innovare sales contact person who will determine the appropriate visa for you or your consultant.
All income derived from work performed in India is subject to tax payment, regardless of payment location based on the reported monthly payroll. We shall deduct the respective tax amount each month accordingly and subsequently paid monthly to the India Tax Office.
India wages attract an employer social security premium of up to 16.75% of the total salary. Employee premium contribution is up to 13.75% of the salary as well. The quoted rates are dependent on the salary level.
Innovare’s insurance policy in India (subject to terms and conditions) includes Professional indemnity insurance and Public liability insurance and is inclusive in our management fee. Workman compensation insurance is charged at cost.
Needless to say, all Employee of Record consultants are required to have adequate medical insurance to cover them throughout the entire contract. While medical insurance covers for expatriates and locals, medical insurance is a must for expatriates working in India.
