Why Companies Hire in Pune
Automotive and Engineering Base

What Hiring in Pune Typically Costs
The figures below are indicative annual ranges for common roles hired through an EOR arrangement, before employer statutory contributions.
These ranges are indicative only. For a full breakdown of statutory contributions added on top of gross salary, see our EOR pricing and cost guide.
Compliance Considerations Specific to Maharashtra
Pune falls under Maharashtra state jurisdiction, the same framework that applies in Mumbai. An EOR partner already registered in the state removes the need to track these requirements yourself.
Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act
Sets requirements for working hours, holidays, leave entitlements and record keeping for establishments registered in Pune.
Maharashtra Professional Tax
Employers must register and deduct Professional Tax at Maharashtra-specific slab rates. Read our state-wise Professional Tax comparison for exact figures.
Provident Fund and ESI
Central schemes apply uniformly, with registration and filings managed through the regional EPFO and ESIC offices covering Pune establishments.
Factory Registration Rules
Manufacturing roles based in registered factories may fall under the Factories Act in addition to Shops and Establishments provisions, affecting shift and safety requirements.
