Local payroll primer

What's actually different about running payroll in Bangalore

Bangalore payroll is dominated by tech compensation peculiarities — RSUs that vest quarterly, ESOPs that need exercise-event tracking, joining bonuses with claw-back clauses, sign-on bonuses split across pay periods, and large GCCs that route Indian payroll through a foreign parent. Karnataka's PT (₹200/month above ₹15,000) is the easy part; the hard part is making sure the tech allowance, internet allowance, broadband reimbursement (NPS-eligible salary components) all add up cleanly to the Form 16 in June.

Bangalore payroll — common questions

Answers HR ops folks actually search for.

Does StafFixHR handle RSU vesting and the related TDS?▾
Yes. We track vesting schedules per employee; on the vest date a perquisite is added to gross at the closing FMV, TDS recalculated for that month, and the payslip reflects 'RSU vesting · X units · ₹Y perquisite' as a separate line. Form 12BA is generated correctly at year end.
How is ESOP exercise handled?▾
Two tax events: at exercise (perquisite on FMV minus exercise price → Form 12BA), and at sale (capital gains, reported by employee directly). We capture the exercise event on payslip and stamp the date for the future capital-gains computation. Foreign parent company stock works the same way.
Joining bonus with claw-back if employee leaves in 12 months — automated?▾
Yes. Joining bonus configured as a one-time pay with a clawback rule (months_remaining × bonus_per_month). Auto-recovered from full-and-final if the employee resigns inside the window.
Karnataka PT for employees who joined mid-year — single annual deduction or monthly?▾
Monthly. Karnataka PT is ₹200/month for employees earning above ₹15,000 — accrued monthly, filed monthly (return + payment by 20th). Mid-year joiners don't get a catch-up charge.
Can payroll be split across India payroll + USD parent payroll?▾
Yes. Many Bangalore GCCs pay base in INR through India entity and ESOP/RSU through US parent. We track both streams on one employee record for completeness but only run statutory on the India INR component.
Do you integrate with our existing biometric attendance system?▾
Yes — we have CSV importer plus direct adapters for ZKTeco, Matrix, Realtime, ESSL, eSSL — every brand common in Bangalore tech offices.
