WHY OUTSOURCE IN DELHI

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

In short

HR outsourcing means a specialist firm runs your people processes for a fixed monthly fee. For a Delhi company with 5 to 100 employees, HRTailor provides a dedicated HR Manager, a small HR team and a Cloud HRMS that handle payroll, PF and ESIC returns, the Delhi Labour Welfare Fund, Delhi minimum wages, registration under the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, offer letters, attendance, leave, exits and employee queries. Delhi has one of India's densest SME bases: trading and distribution houses in Chandni Chowk, Sadar Bazaar and Karol Bagh, consultancies in Connaught Place, IT and hardware firms around Nehru Place and Okhla, and units in Okhla, Naraina, Patparganj and Bawana. Most never planned an HR department, and somewhere between the tenth and fortieth employee the informal system starts leaking. Plans start at ₹10,000 a month plus GST, less than one Delhi HR hire. Companies above about 100 employees, or those wanting software only, are usually better served elsewhere.

01

Accountant-run HR

Salaries by the accountant and letters by the owner works until a dispute or inspection arrives.

02

Delhi, not Haryana or UP

Delhi has its own minimum wages, welfare fund and shops law, different from Gurugram and Noida.

03

Trade and tech mixed

Old trading houses and new tech teams need very different HR habits.

DELHI COMPLIANCE

Which labour laws apply to employers in Delhi?

The short answer

Delhi employers follow the National Capital Territory's own rules on top of the central framework. Delhi does not levy Professional Tax, so no PT appears on a Delhi payslip. The Delhi Labour Welfare Fund applies to establishments with 5 or more persons: ₹0.75 from each employee and ₹2.25 from the employer for each half-year, based on headcount on 30 June and 31 December and paid by 15 July and 15 January. Shops and offices register online under the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954, and a notification of 7 August 2025 lets establishments open round the clock and lets women work night shifts with consent, safety, transport and a working Internal Complaints Committee, within 9 hours a day and 48 a week. Delhi minimum wages from 1 April 2025, still the latest order in October 2026, run from ₹18,456 a month for unskilled to ₹24,356 for graduates. PF, ESIC, TDS and the four Labour Codes apply as in every state.

THE STACK

What does HRTailor do for Delhi businesses?

Four services, one subscription, one accountable team:

01

HR Outsourcing

Appointment letters, records, attendance, leave and clean exits, without changing how the business trades.

02

Payroll Processing

Structured salaries checked against Delhi minimum wages, with the welfare fund applied in June and December.

03

Compliance Management

Shop registration, LWF, PF, ESIC and TDS on one calendar owned by our compliance team.

04

Cloud HRMS

Attendance, leave, documents and self-service so the founder stops approving every leave request.

CHOOSING A PARTNER

How do you choose an HR outsourcing agency in Delhi?

The short answer

Choose an HR outsourcing agency in Delhi on three things. First, a named HR Manager rather than a ticket queue: ask who will answer your employees' questions. Second, real ownership of Delhi compliance: ask whether they keep Professional Tax off Delhi payslips, file the Delhi Labour Welfare Fund in July and January, check salaries against Delhi's own minimum wages rather than Haryana's or UP's, and register your office under the Delhi Shops Act. Third, a full price in writing: ask what the invoice looks like in month six, not month one. Large payroll and staffing firms suit companies with hundreds of employees, EOR and PEO providers suit foreign companies hiring in India without an entity, and HRMS software suits teams with an experienced HR person. A managed HR firm such as HRTailor suits Delhi startups and SMEs with 5 to 100 employees on their own rolls, from ₹10,000 a month plus GST.
