What Are Trading Company Payroll Services?

Definition: Salary processing for wholesale/retail/distribution covering multiple staff categories, PF/ESI/TDS, Delhi min wage, S.194H commission TDS, and Labour Code compliance. Every employee from godown loader to counter salesman paid correctly.

Key differences: (1) Weekly/fortnightly godown pay, not just monthly. (2) Commission salesmen = variable income, different TDS. (3) Festive hiring doubles workforce. (4) Multi-location (shop+godown+distribution). (5) Cash-to-formal transition needs sensitivity.

See Payroll Processing for general payroll.

Key Terms for Trading Payroll in Delhi:

S.194H Commission TDS: 5% TDS on commission to non-employee agents/dalals (>Rs 15K/year). Employee salesman: entire pay (salary+commission) under S.192. Wrong classification = mismatch notices.

Cash-to-Formal: Transition from cash payments to bank-transferred salary with PF/ESI. Essential for bank loans, government tenders, labour inspections. Patron coordinates bulk salary account opening.

Festive Scaling: Diwali/wedding season: 20-100+ temp helpers. Labour Code: fixed-term = PF/ESI/gratuity Day 1. Peak-season labour inspections target non-compliant traders.

Godown Worker Wages: Must be at Delhi min wage (unskilled ~Rs 18,066). Many traders pay Rs 10K-12K = criminal offence under Min Wages Act.

Multi-Location: Shop (Chandni Chowk) + godown (Rohini/Mundka) + distribution centre. Each = cost centre for tracking.

Trading Wholesale + Retail
