WHY OUTSOURCE IN AHMEDABAD

What is HR outsourcing, and why do Ahmedabad companies use it?

In short

HR outsourcing means a specialist firm runs your people processes for a fixed monthly fee. For an Ahmedabad business with 5 to 100 employees, HRTailor provides a dedicated HR Manager, a small HR team and a Cloud HRMS that together handle payroll, PF and ESIC returns, Gujarat Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund, appointment letters, attendance, leave, policies, employee queries and exits. It replaces the usual setup where the accountant runs salaries, a senior manager signs letters and the owner settles disputes. Plans start at ₹10,000 a month plus GST, which is less than one in-house HR hire, and the service runs fully online from our Mumbai office. It suits family businesses, SG Highway offices and GIDC units that have outgrown spreadsheets but do not need a full HR department of their own. Companies above about 100 employees, or those who only want software, are usually better served by a larger payroll firm or a software-only tool.

01

HR is nobody's job

The accountant runs salaries, a senior manager signs letters and the owner settles disputes. It works at fifteen people and starts costing money at forty, usually when a bank, a big customer audit or the next generation asks for proper records.

02

Factory and office rules differ

A textile processor, a pharma unit in Vatva, a chemicals plant in Naroda GIDC and an SG Highway IT office each face different rules. Few in-house generalists cover that range; our team model does.

03

Arithmetic Ahmedabad respects

One fixed monthly fee for a complete, accountable HR function, instead of a salary, software licences and consultant fees that add up to several times more.

HR SERVICES

What does HRTailor do for Ahmedabad businesses?

Four functions, one subscription, delivered by a team that does this all day:

01

HR Outsourcing

Appointment letters, joining files, attendance, leave and exits, with particular care for family businesses formalising employment practices for the first time.

02

Payroll Outsourcing

Staff and worker payroll run together: Gujarat deductions applied, shift and overtime handled for units, and payslips plus annual TDS certificates delivered without reminders.

03

Statutory Compliance

Gujarat registrations, returns, registers and renewals alongside PF, ESIC and TDS, tracked by the HRTailor compliance team so an inspection is uneventful.

04

Cloud HRMS

One system replacing the salary spreadsheet, the leave register and the letters folder, for teams across the city and its industrial estates.

HR SOFTWARE OR MANAGED HR?

HR software or managed HR: which does an Ahmedabad SME need?

The short answer

HR and payroll software, such as the HRMS tools sold to Ahmedabad companies, calculates salaries, tracks attendance and leave and produces payslips and challans. It does not run itself: someone in your company still has to enter changes, check the numbers, file PF, ESIC, Professional Tax and TDS returns on time, answer employee questions and handle joiners and exits. If you already have an experienced HR or accounts person with time to spare, software alone can be enough. If you do not, managed HR is usually the better fit. HRTailor includes a Cloud HRMS with biometric attendance integration, leave tracking, employee self-service payslips and document storage, and adds a dedicated HR Manager and team who operate it, file every return and handle your people. You pay one plan from ₹10,000 a month plus GST, with no separate software licence.

What the HRMS does

Biometric attendance integration, leave balances, employee self-service payslips, letters and documents in one place, on web and mobile.

What our team does

Runs payroll, files PF, ESIC, Professional Tax and TDS, issues letters, answers employee queries and handles exits and full and final settlement.

What it costs you

One plan from ₹10,000 a month plus GST, with no separate licence fee. See how HRMS setup works.

PAYROLL

How do payroll outsourcing services in Ahmedabad work?

HRTailor runs end-to-end payroll for Ahmedabad companies with 5 to 100 employees, staff and workers together, from salary processing and payslips to Gujarat Professional Tax, PF and ESIC filings and TDS. Every payroll cycle is processed by the 7th of the month.

What is included

  • Monthly salary processing and payslips for staff and workers
  • Gujarat Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund deductions
  • PF and ESIC registration, monthly returns and challans, with PF coverage applied up to the new ₹25,000 monthly wage ceiling (from 17 September 2026)
  • Shift, overtime and contract worker wages for units
  • Quarterly TDS returns in Form 138 (formerly Form 24Q) and annual TDS certificates in Form 130 (formerly Form 16)
  • Diwali bonus, arrears, reimbursements and full and final settlement

How it works, month by month

  1. 1
    Inputs

    Your HR Manager collects attendance, leave, overtime, joiners, exits and changes from the HRMS.

  2. 2
    Processing

    Salaries and wages are calculated with PF, ESIC, Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund and TDS applied per employee.

  3. 3
    Your approval

    You review one payroll summary. Nothing is paid without your sign-off.

  4. 4
    Payment

    We prepare the bank transfer file and payslips reach employees through the HRMS.

  5. 5
    Filings

    PF, ESIC, Professional Tax and TDS returns are filed on time and challans saved for you.

COST

How much does HR outsourcing cost in Ahmedabad?

The short answer

HRTailor plans for Ahmedabad businesses start at ₹10,000 a month plus GST for a small team. That covers a dedicated HR Manager, monthly payroll for staff and workers, PF, ESIC, Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund and TDS filings, HR letters and policies, employee queries, exits and the Cloud HRMS. The price rises with headcount and with extras such as multi-state teams or a large contract workforce, and you get a written quote before you sign. By comparison, an in-house HR Manager typically costs ₹8 to 15 lakh a year plus benefits, and a single person gives no cover during leave or resignation. Payroll software alone is cheaper per employee but leaves the filing and employee work with you. There are no hidden fees: every charge is listed on our pricing page.

FAQS

What Ahmedabad businesses ask first .

HRTailor plans start at ₹10,000 a month plus GST for a small team, with the Cloud HRMS included. The final price depends on headcount and on whether you need payroll only or a full HR department. Every charge is listed on our pricing page, and you get a written quote after a free call.

Software only calculates. Someone still has to run payroll, file PF, ESIC and Professional Tax, issue letters and handle employees. With HRTailor you get the Cloud HRMS and the HR team that runs it, for one monthly fee.

No. The service is fully online, run from our Mumbai office. Payroll, filings, letters and employee support move through the Cloud HRMS, digital signatures and scheduled calls.

Often not. Manufacturing units usually fall under factory rules instead, with different licences, registers and deadlines. Getting this wrong means following the wrong compliance calendar, so we settle it before filing anything for you.

Yes, for many teams. From 17 September 2026 the wage ceiling for mandatory PF coverage rose from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 a month, so employees earning up to ₹25,000 must now be covered. We check every employee against the new ceiling, update contributions from the right month and file the returns.

Yes. Many Ahmedabad businesses pay the annual bonus before Diwali. We check which employees are eligible, calculate the statutory amounts, schedule the payout into the right payroll and keep the bonus register up to date.

Yes. We introduce letters, records and payroll structure in stages, keep the owner in control of every decision, and use a simple documented process instead of big-company ritual.

About three weeks from signup to fully operational: registrations checked, staff and worker payroll set up, the HRMS configured and your first cycle run. Factory-heavy setups sometimes use a few extra days within that window for register work.
