Quick answerPayroll services in India for a Global Capability Center (GCC), also called a captive center, cover monthly payroll processing and the statutory compliance that comes with it: Provident Fund (PF), Employees' State Insurance (ESI), Professional Tax (PT) and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). Relevance Lab runs payroll on a fixed calendar with secure data handling and reporting for your finance team.
We build and run GCCs in the Tier 1 hubs of Mumbai, Pune, Gurgaon, Noida, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Kolkata, and in the Tier 2 city of Gandhinagar.
Why payroll services in India matter for a GCC
Payroll is the most visible service a GCC provides to its people. Errors and delays damage trust faster than almost anything else, especially in a competitive talent market.
India's payroll rules are detailed: PF and ESI have their own contribution rules, Professional Tax varies by state, TDS needs accurate declarations and proofs, and labour codes continue to evolve. Getting it wrong means penalties and audit findings.
Relevance Lab runs payroll and statutory compliance as a managed service, with a fixed calendar, secure data handling and reports that reconcile cleanly with your finance systems.
