The basics

What Is a PEO in India?

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) in India helps your business with HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance for recruiting in the country. The responsibility to manage employees and day-to-day operations lies with your organization. There are generally two options: one where an Indian entity is available, and one where there is no entity at all.
If you already have an Indian entity

Managed Payroll & HR Compliance

Your company remains the legal employer. TRH manages payroll, employee records, benefits administration, and HR support through your existing Indian entity.
TRH manages
  • Payroll processing, PF, ESI, professional tax, and TDS
  • India statutory filings
  • Employee benefits administration
  • Staff records
  • Employee onboarding and offboarding
  • Local HR support
TRH provides the payroll and HR support your India team needs.

If you do not have an Indian entity

TRH manages
  • India employment contracts
  • Payroll and payslips
  • Statutory contributions
  • Employee benefits
  • HR administration
  • Compliance filings
  • Full and final settlement

Who TRH Supports in India

Who Are PEO Services in India Best For?

PEO services can work well for companies at different stages of hiring in India, especially when payroll, HR, and compliance start taking more time to manage internally.

Global Capability Centres

Building an engineering, finance, operations, or shared services team in India? TRH supports payroll, HR, and compliance as your GCC grows across locations.

SMEs Entering India

Hiring in India for the first time? TRH helps you manage payroll, employee administration, and local compliance without building a full HR team from day one.

Scaling Startups

Choosing an India PEO Provider

How to Choose the Right PEO Partner in India

A good India PEO provider should be clear about how the service works, what they manage, and what you will pay.
01

Clear on Who Employs Your Team

You should know from the start who the legal employer is, what TRH manages, and whether you need EOR or Managed Payroll.
02

Proven India Experience

Look for a partner with real experience supporting international companies, India payroll, and local compliance.
03

People You Can Actually Reach

When payroll is due, or a compliance question comes up, a dedicated local contact matters more than another support ticket.
04

Real Client Proof

Ask for case studies, client results, or examples of teams they have already supported in India.
05

Pricing You Understand Upfront

Know what is included, what is extra, and whether setup, onboarding, or exit fees apply before you sign.
