Clear scope

What's in, and what isn't.

What do you need from us to start?

Timely access to payroll data, attendance, HR records and the relevant portal credentials. Statutory deadlines are met subject to receiving data and approvals on time.

Do you file EPF and ESI returns?

We advise on EPF, ESI and Bonus: coverage, payroll review and liability calculations. Portal filings, ECR submissions and challans can be added as a separately billed engagement.

Are notices and disputes covered by the retainer?

On the Essentials plan (up to 20 employees), attending notices and inspections and arranging statutory records is included. For larger engagements, notice, inspection and dispute representation is billed per matter or appearance, depending on complexity, hearing stages and location.

What falls outside your scope?
  • Litigation before civil or criminal courts, High Courts or the Supreme Court
  • Income Tax, GST, TDS and other tax advisory or compliance
  • Company secretarial work: ROC filings, board resolutions, MCA compliance
  • Commercial, IP, real estate or M&A documentation
  • Penalties, interest or late fees arising from non-compliance
  • Out-of-station travel and stay, billed separately where needed
What if labour codes or statutory rates change?

Changes that materially increase compliance obligations may lead to a revisit of scope and fees. We flag them early so there are no surprises.
