HR Compliance & Tax Considerations
HR Compliance in India
Indian business visitors cannot receive Indian-source salary. Long-term assignments require Employment Visa or specialized categories. Provident Fund (EPF), ESI, and state-specific Shops Act requirements apply. Recent labor code consolidations impact corporate travel programs.
Tax Implications
India's tax residency rules use 182-day threshold with Non-Ordinary Resident (NOR) intermediate status. Non-residents pay 20% withholding on Indian-source income by default. India has double-tax treaties with 90+ countries.
Legal & Language Considerations
English is India's official business language and is used for all corporate documentation, contracts, and government filings. Hindi is co-official but not required for business. Regional languages matter for local operations but not corporate contracts.
