Which offices does this come down to in Hyderabad?

The offices below are the ones a Hyderabad employer actually deals with. Hyderabad is in Hyderabad district, and the district matters because several of these are district level appointments.

Commercial Taxes Department, Telangana source

Verify before you act. Office addresses, jurisdictions and rates change, sometimes without a public notice. Check the office with the department before you visit it, and put the compliance question to your chartered accountant or a labour law adviser. Treat this as background, not advice. Offrd is independent of every office named above. Checked on 12 September 2026. If a detail has moved since, write to service@offrd.co.

Which employees are covered by employee state insurance?

Employees earning gross wages up to 21,000 rupees a month, and up to 25,000 rupees where the employee has a disability. The scheme applies to factories and establishments with ten or more people, though for non factory establishments the threshold comes from a state notification and is not the same everywhere.

The employee contributes 0.75 percent of gross wages and the employer 3.25 percent, and contributions are due by the fifteenth of the following month. Once an establishment is covered it remains covered even if headcount later drops.

What has to appear on a payslip in India?

A payslip should show the employee name and identifier, the wage period, the days paid and days lost, every earning component listed separately, every deduction listed separately, the gross, and the net paid. Where provident fund and employee state insurance apply, those deductions are named lines with the employer share shown or stated. The Code on Wages requires employers to issue wage slips to employees.

For a company in Hyderabad, the practical test is whether an employee can reconstruct their own net pay from the slip without asking anyone. If they cannot, the slip is incomplete.

When do most Indian companies run increments?

April, aligned to the financial year, is the most common cycle, with a smaller number running in October or on the employee joining anniversary. The cycle matters less than the consistency. A company in Telangana that revises salaries when people ask, rather than on a cycle, ends up with pay that reflects who negotiated hardest.

Whatever the cycle, the letter should be issued before the revised salary appears in the bank account, not after.

What does the monthly provident fund filing involve?

A return listing every covered employee, their wages for the month, their contribution and the employer share, filed with the fund office along with the payment. Days of loss of pay change the wage figure, so attendance for the month has to be settled before the return can be prepared.

Offrd produces the payroll and payslip records that the return is built from, including the basic and dearness allowance base for each employee. Filing itself is done on the fund portal.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Hyderabad sit administratively?

Hyderabad comes under Hyderabad. That is the unit the labour department works in, so it decides which office you deal with.

Who collects professional tax from a Hyderabad employer?

Commercial Taxes Department, Telangana. Hyderabad city is covered by several Commercial Taxes divisions - Begumpet, Charminar, Golconda, Khairatabad, Kukatpally, LB Nagar, Malkajgiri, Quthbullapur, Secunderabad, Serilingampally.

What happens when an employee crosses the wage ceiling mid year?

Contribution continues to the end of the contribution period in which the wage rose. The two periods run April to September and October to March, so the employee stays covered until the period closes.
