Best EOR in India
This list ranks Employer of Record providers that run a compliant EOR in India, ordered by our Select Score. Employer social security is 19.75% of pay, and the table below the list shows each provider's all-in monthly cost at the average local wage plus whether it employs through its own entity or a partner. Those two figures shape the choice more than the headline fee.
Produced by the Select Score algorithm and recalculated as provider data and reviews change, so positions can shift over time.

How to choose
Start with cost, because the platform fee is only part of it. Employer social security in India is 19.75% and employee contributions are 12.75%, so ask each provider to show the full employer cost at your salary, not just the monthly fee. Entry prices on this page run from $99/mo to from $699/mo, but the all-in table is the fairer comparison. Check how each provider employs people locally, through its own entity or a partner, and ask who carries the compliance liability if something goes wrong.
Then test the exit and leave terms, which are where hires go wrong. Notice is 4.3 weeks and severance is 11.4 weeks, so ask how the provider prices a termination before you sign. Maternity leave is 26 weeks and there are 17 public holidays, so confirm the contract template matches both. Statutory hours are 48 per week while people actually work about 56, so ask how overtime and working-time limits are written into the agreement. Union density is 19.8%, so ask whether any collective agreement could apply to your role.
