What does a Hyderabad employer have to run every month?

Telangana keeps its professional tax simple, two paid slabs and a ₹2,400 annual ceiling, but it pairs that with a Shops Act registration that expires on 31 December every year. The table gives the rule, the date and the office. Every row is linked in the sources below.

Which EPFO office covers a Hyderabad company?

Hyderabad district is split across three EPFO offices, Barkatpura (the old Hyderabad I), Madhapur (the old Hyderabad II) and Kukatpally. Rangareddy district is spread across those three plus Patancheru, and Medchal-Malkajgiri between Barkatpura and Kukatpally. The EPFO Bhavishya Nidhi Bhavan is at 3-4-763 Barkatpura Chaman, Hyderabad 500027. The EPFO mapping, not the office name, tells you which office holds your establishment code, and Offrd gives your CA EPF export ready files for upload there.

How does the Telangana Shops Act work for an IT company that runs shifts?

The Telangana Shops and Establishments Act 1988 sets working hours and holiday rules for every shop and commercial establishment, and section 73 lets the state exempt a class of establishments by notification. A Gachibowli office running 24 hour support should check with the Labour Department whether a current exemption order covers it rather than assume the standard hours apply.

Whatever the hours, three things do not change: a written appointment letter under the OSH Code, EPF and ESI on every payslip, and the Telangana professional tax line. Offrd produces all three. Attendance from the free Atndnz app covers named shifts with grace periods, so a three shift roster lands in payroll without a spreadsheet.

What does Offrd do for a Hyderabad company?

Offrd is HR document and payroll software for Indian companies with up to 250 employees. You set up the company once, with its state, and the statutory lines follow from that. For a Hyderabad company that means the Telangana professional tax slab on the payslip, the OSH Code appointment letter, and EPF files your CA uploads to the Barkatpura, Madhapur or Kukatpally office.

  • Offer and appointment letters. CTC, role and joining date go in, and the letter comes out with PF, ESI and, where the state levies it, professional tax worked out. The OSH Code 2020, in force from 21 November 2025, requires a written appointment letter, and the generator produces one. 10 credits a letter.
  • Onboarding. The new hire fills a self serve form. Aadhaar and PAN are verified in real time. 15 credits.
  • Payroll and payslips. An Excel style grid, with EPF at 12 percent each side on wages up to the ₹25,000 ceiling, ESI at 0.75 and 3.25 percent up to ₹21,000, and Telangana professional tax at ₹150 or ₹200 a month above ₹15,000. 2 credits per payslip, and the first payslip for each employee is free. Your CA gets EPF export ready files. Offrd does not file returns.
  • Attendance. The Atndnz app is free with Offrd: office QR check in, GPS check in within 500 metres for field staff, biometric sync, named shifts with grace periods.
  • Exits. Relieving and experience letters, and a full and final settlement with 19 deduction heads and 13 payouts, built for the two working day final wage rule under the Code on Wages.
  • Form 16. Offrd builds Part B from payroll and declarations, you upload Part A from TRACES, and Offrd combines and sends it. Needs the company TAN and PAN.

Pricing is the same in every city. Credit packs start at ₹99 for 10 credits and credits do not expire, or pay ₹50 per active employee a month with everything included. New accounts get 50 free credits, no card, enough for five offer letters. See the pricing page.

Which EPFO office covers a company in Hyderabad?

How much is the Telangana Labour Welfare Fund contribution?

The Telangana Labour Welfare Fund Act 1987 covers shops and establishments, but the current employee and employer amounts were not readable on a Telangana government page when this page was checked, so they are not stated here.
