Payroll Services in Hyderabad: Overview

📌 TL;DR - Payroll Services Services at a Glance

Payroll services in Hyderabad cover end-to-end salary processing - from CTC structuring and monthly salary computation to statutory deductions (EPF 12%+12%, ESI 0.75%+3.25%, TDS per slab, Telangana Professional Tax), challan generation, return filing (Form 24Q, ECR, ESI returns), payslip distribution, and annual Form 16 issuance. Patron's CA manages the complete payroll cycle for Hyderabad businesses - ensuring zero missed deadlines and full compliance with central and Telangana-specific labour laws.

Hyderabad's workforce spans over 15 lakh IT professionals in HITEC City and Gachibowli, thousands of pharma researchers and production staff in Genome Valley, rapidly scaling startup teams in Madhapur, retail and trading employees in Secunderabad, and manufacturing workers in Medchal-Malkajgiri. Each segment has unique payroll requirements: IT companies need CTC structuring with HRA optimisation (Hyderabad now qualifies for 50% HRA exemption from 2026), pharma companies need shift-based payroll with overtime computation, startups need scalable payroll that triggers EPF/ESI registration as headcount grows, and traders need basic salary processing with Telangana PT compliance. Learn more about Payroll Services across India.

Patron Accounting's CA-managed payroll service handles the entire cycle: employee onboarding data collection, CTC breakup design, monthly salary computation with all statutory deductions, challan preparation and deposit (TDS by 7th, EPF/ESI by 15th), payslip generation, quarterly TDS return (Form 24Q) filing, annual Form 16 preparation, and full-and-final settlement for exits. The same CA team manages your accounting in Hyderabad, GST, and ITR - creating a unified compliance ecosystem where payroll data flows seamlessly into financial statements.

What Are Payroll Services?

Payroll services encompass the end-to-end process of computing employee compensation, applying statutory deductions, disbursing net salary, depositing employer contributions, filing compliance returns, and issuing statutory certificates - ensuring every employee is paid correctly and every government obligation is met on time.

The payroll cycle has three stages: pre-payroll (attendance, leave, employee data verification), processing (gross salary computation, statutory deductions for EPF/ESI/TDS/PT, net pay calculation), and post-payroll (salary disbursement, challan deposit, return filing, payslip distribution). For Hyderabad businesses, payroll compliance involves both central laws (EPF Act, ESI Act, Income Tax Act, Payment of Wages Act, Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Bonus Act, Payment of Gratuity Act) and Telangana-specific regulations (Professional Tax, Shops and Establishments Act, Labour Welfare Fund).

For Hyderabad's IT sector, payroll is especially complex. HITEC City companies structure CTCs with basic salary, HRA (now 50% exemption as Hyderabad is a metro under 2026 IT Rules), special allowance, LTA, NPS employer contribution, variable pay, and ESOPs. Each component has different tax treatment. Pharma companies in Genome Valley process shift differentials, overtime, and production incentives alongside standard deductions. Startups in Madhapur scale from 5 to 50 employees within months - triggering EPF (at 20 employees) and ESI (at 10 employees) registration requirements. Patron manages all these scenarios with CA oversight ensuring compliance at every growth stage.

Key Terms for Payroll Services:

  • EPF: Employees' Provident Fund - 12% employee + 12% employer on basic + DA, mandatory for 20+ employee establishments
  • ESI: Employees' State Insurance - 0.75% employee + 3.25% employer on gross, for employees below Rs 21,000/month
  • TDS on Salary: Tax Deducted at Source under Section 192, deposited monthly by the 7th
  • Form 24Q: Quarterly TDS return for salary payments filed with IT Department
  • Form 16: Annual TDS certificate (Part A from TRACES + Part B salary breakup)
  • Telangana PT: State Professional Tax, max Rs 2,500/year, monthly slab-based deduction
  • CTC: Cost to Company - total annual compensation including employer contributions
  • ECR: Electronic Challan cum Return - monthly EPF filing via EPFO portal

Who Needs Payroll Services in Hyderabad?

IT and SaaS Companies in HITEC City and Gachibowli: Software companies with 20-500+ employees need structured CTC with HRA optimisation (50% metro from 2026), NPS employer contribution, ESOP taxation, and TDS computation across old and new tax regimes. Form 16 must reflect all perquisites and deductions accurately. Patron structures IT company payroll for maximum tax efficiency.

Pharma and Biotech in Genome Valley: Drug manufacturers and research labs with shift-based workers, lab technicians, and management staff. Payroll includes shift differentials, overtime computation per Factories Act, ESI for eligible workers, and EPF for all. Telangana minimum wage compliance is critical for production floor staff.

Startups in Madhapur and T-Hub: Early-stage companies scaling rapidly. At 10 employees, ESI registration triggers. At 20 employees, EPF registration triggers. Many Hyderabad startups miss these thresholds and face backdated liability. Patron monitors headcount and triggers statutory registrations proactively. See Startup Registration for new ventures.

Trading and Retail in Secunderabad: Shops and commercial establishments with 5-50 staff. Telangana Shops and Establishments Act requires registration, working hour compliance, and record maintenance. Payroll includes minimum wages, PT, and overtime for extended-hour businesses.

Staffing and Contract Labour Agencies: Third-party payroll for contract workers deployed across Hyderabad IT parks, warehouses, and industrial sites. Requires separate EPF/ESI codes, contractor compliance, and client billing reconciliation.

Manufacturing in Medchal-Malkajgiri: Factory workers, supervisors, and management staff. Payroll includes minimum wages per Telangana schedule, overtime (Factories Act), bonus (Payment of Bonus Act), and gratuity tracking. Labour inspector-ready registers maintained.

Our Process

Payroll Process in Hyderabad

From employee onboarding and CTC design to monthly salary processing, statutory deposits, and annual Form 16 - here's how Patron manages payroll for Hyderabad businesses.

Step 1

Employee Onboarding and Data Collection

Patron's CA collects employee data: PAN, Aadhaar, bank account details, UAN (existing or new), ESIC number, appointment letter, CTC breakup, and tax declaration (investment proofs for 80C/80D/HRA). For new Hyderabad hires, UAN is generated on EPFO portal. ESIC IP number is created for eligible employees.

UAN + ESIC created Tax declarations gathered
Data Collected01
Step 2

CTC Structuring and Salary Component Design

The CA designs the CTC breakup optimising for both employee tax savings and employer compliance. For a HITEC City IT professional with Rs 12 lakh CTC: basic salary Rs 6 lakh (50%), HRA Rs 3 lakh (50% of basic - Hyderabad metro), special allowance, employer EPF, NPS, and statutory bonus.

HRA 50% metro optimised NPS + 80CCD(2) benefit

Step 3

Monthly Salary Computation and Deductions

Each month, attendance and leave data are verified. Gross salary computed per component. EPF 12% on basic+DA, ESI 0.75%+3.25% on gross (if eligible), TDS per regime, Telangana PT per slab (Rs 200/month for salary above Rs 20,000, Rs 300 in February). Net pay = gross minus all deductions.

All deductions applied Salary by 7th

Step 4

Challan Preparation and Statutory Deposits

TDS challan prepared and deposited with IT Department by the 7th. EPF ECR generated from EPFO portal and challan deposited by the 15th. ESI contribution deposited by the 15th. Telangana Professional Tax deposited monthly. Zero late payment interest.

Step 5

Payslip Distribution and Employee Communication

Monthly payslips generated with complete breakup: earnings (basic, HRA, allowances, reimbursements), deductions (EPF, ESI, TDS, PT, loans), and net pay. Payslips distributed digitally. Employees can verify deductions against Form 26AS, EPF passbook, and ESIC portal.

Step 6

Quarterly Returns, Form 16, and Annual Compliance

Form 24Q filed quarterly. Annual Form 16 generated from TRACES and distributed by 15 June. EPF annual return filed by 25 April. ESI half-yearly returns filed. Bonus computation completed. Payroll data integrates directly with ITR filing in Hyderabad.

Documents and Information Required

  • Employee PAN and Aadhaar: For TDS computation and UAN/ESIC registration
  • Bank Account Details: For salary credit (NEFT/RTGS file preparation)
  • Appointment Letter with CTC: Salary structure and components for payroll configuration
  • Attendance and Leave Data: Monthly attendance, leave taken, overtime hours (from biometric/HRMS/manual)
  • Tax Declaration (Form 12BB): Employee's investment declarations for TDS computation under old regime
  • UAN and ESIC Number: For existing employees. New employees get UAN/ESIC created by Patron
  • EPFO and ESIC Registration: Company's EPF code and ESIC code. If not registered, Patron registers when threshold triggers
  • TAN (Tax Deduction Account Number): For TDS deposit and Form 24Q filing

Hyderabad-Specific Tip: HITEC City companies expanding to a second Hyderabad office (e.g., from Gachibowli to Madhapur) must register the new premises under the Telangana Shops and Establishments Act separately. Patron ensures each establishment is registered and compliant.
