What Is an Employer of Record in India?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in India is a third-party company that legally employs workers on behalf of another organization. The EOR serves as the official employer for payroll, tax, and statutory compliance, while your company manages the employee’s daily work, reporting, and performance.

- Provident Fund (PF)
- Employee State Insurance (ESI)
- Professional Tax
- Tax Deducted at Source (TDS)
