WHY OUTSOURCE IN THE TRICITY
What is HR outsourcing, and why do Tricity companies use it?
In short
HR outsourcing means a specialist firm runs your people processes for a fixed monthly fee. For a Chandigarh, Mohali or Panchkula 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, state deductions, shop registration, offer letters, attendance, leave, exits and employee queries. The Tricity is one labour market but three jurisdictions: Chandigarh is a Union Territory, Mohali is in Punjab and Panchkula is in Haryana. Each has its own shops law, welfare fund and payroll deductions, so a team spread across the three needs location-aware payroll, not one template. IT and services firms in Mohali and the Chandigarh IT Park, manufacturers in the Industrial Area and healthcare and education employers all hit this. Plans start at ₹10,000 a month plus GST, less than one in-house HR hire. Companies above about 100 employees, or those wanting software only, are usually better served elsewhere.
01
Three rulebooks
UT, Punjab and Haryana rules differ on deductions, welfare funds and registration, even across one road.
02
Transfers across the line
When an employee moves from Chandigarh to Mohali, their deductions and records change with them.
03
Rules in motion
Punjab and Chandigarh have been revising shop and welfare fund rules, so last year's template may be out of date.
TRICITY COMPLIANCE
Which labour laws apply to employers in Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula?
The short answer
In the Tricity, the rules follow where each employee actually works, not where the company is registered. Shops and offices in Chandigarh register with the UT Labour Department under the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958 as it applies to Chandigarh. Mohali establishments follow Punjab's own Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, and Punjab deducts the Punjab State Development Tax from salaried employees under its 2018 Act. Panchkula establishments follow Haryana's rules: the Haryana Labour Welfare Fund takes 0.2% of wages from the employee, capped at ₹35 a month from January 2026, and the employer pays twice the employee share. Chandigarh UT and Haryana do not levy a Professional Tax on salaries. PF, ESIC, TDS and the four Labour Codes apply the same way in all three. HRTailor maps each employee to their work location and confirms current rates with each authority.
| Rule | Chandigarh UT | Mohali (Punjab) | Panchkula (Haryana) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shops and establishments law | Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958, registered with the UT Labour Department | Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, with Punjab's registration rules | Haryana's Shops and Commercial Establishments law |
| Salary deduction for state tax | No Professional Tax | Punjab State Development Tax, deducted by the employer | No Professional Tax |
| Labour Welfare Fund | We confirm whether it applies to your establishment | Punjab Labour Welfare Fund; rates under review after the 2025 amendment, confirmed before each deduction | 0.2% of wages from the employee, capped at ₹35 a month from January 2026; employer pays twice that |
| PF, ESIC, TDS and Labour Codes | Same central rules in all three, on one calendar | ||
THE STACK
What does HRTailor do for Tricity businesses?

02
Payroll Processing
Location-aware payroll: each employee's deductions follow where they work, and change when they transfer.
03
Compliance Management
Shop registrations and welfare funds with three separate authorities, plus PF, ESIC and TDS, on one calendar.
04
Cloud HRMS
Attendance, leave, documents and self-service for every location, with no separate software licence.
CHOOSING A PARTNER
How do you choose an HR outsourcing agency in Chandigarh and Punjab?
The short answer
Choose an HR outsourcing agency in Chandigarh or Punjab on three things. First, a named HR Manager rather than a ticket queue: ask who will answer your employees' questions. Second, real handling of three jurisdictions: ask how they decide which deductions apply to an employee in Mohali versus Chandigarh versus Panchkula, and who registers each site with the right authority. An agency that puts the same deductions on every Tricity payslip is using a single template. Third, a full price in writing: ask what the invoice looks like in month six, not just month one. Placement and manpower agencies suit companies that want workers supplied or put on another company's rolls, HR and payroll software suits teams that already have an experienced HR person, and payroll processors suit companies that only need salaries calculated. A managed HR firm such as HRTailor suits Tricity startups and SMEs with 5 to 100 employees, from ₹10,000 a month plus GST, HRMS included.
| Type of provider | Best for | What you still do yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Placement or manpower agency | Supplying workers or putting them on another company's rolls | Day-to-day HR for your own employees |
| HR and payroll software | Teams with an experienced HR person | Running payroll, filings and employee work |
| Payroll processor or accountant | Calculating salaries only | Registrations, letters, employee issues, exits |
| Managed HR (HRTailor) | Startups and SMEs with 5 to 100 employees | Approve payroll and make people decisions |

FAQS
Tricity questions we hear most .
HRTailor plans start at ₹10,000 a month plus GST for a small team, with the Cloud HRMS included. The price scales with headcount, not with the number of authorities we file with, and every charge is listed on our pricing page.
Obligations follow where people actually work. Mohali staff fall under Punjab's Shops Act and the Punjab State Development Tax even though the company is registered in the UT. We map every employee to their work location.
No. Chandigarh UT and Haryana do not levy a Professional Tax on salaries. Punjab instead deducts the Punjab State Development Tax from salaried employees, so it appears only on payslips of staff working on the Punjab side, such as Mohali or Zirakpur.
The employee contributes 0.2% of wages, capped at ₹35 a month from January 2026, and the employer pays twice the employee's share. We deduct it and pay it to the Haryana Labour Welfare Board.
No. Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula are served fully online from our Mumbai office. The complexity here is jurisdictional, not geographical, and it is solved by a compliance team and a good platform.
Yes. Himachal Pradesh becomes one more jurisdiction in the same engagement, with plant-side obligations and Tricity office compliance on one calendar.
Software calculates, but someone still has to apply three jurisdictions' rules, file returns and handle employees. HRTailor includes a Cloud HRMS and the team that runs it, for one monthly fee.
