We handle Telangana Professional Tax, the Telangana Shops & Establishments Act, and statutory deductions out of the box. Our team can come set you up in person across the metro, and pricing starts at ₹60 per employee per month. No minimum headcount.

What’s different about running HR in Hyderabad

Hyderabad’s HR workload has a few specific patterns worth knowing about.

The IT belt sits in a tight geographic cluster. HITEC City, Gachibowli, Madhapur, Kondapur, Raidurg, and the Financial District are all within a few kilometres of each other and trade workforce constantly. A typical 250-person Hyderabad IT company has its main office in HITEC City or Gachibowli, with engineers who live in Kukatpally, Miyapur, or even Patancheru and commute via company shuttles. Attendance has to handle the campus-shuttle pattern cleanly.

Pharma and biotech are the second pillar. Genome Valley out at Shamirpet, plus the Patancheru-Bollaram industrial belt to the west, hold a meaningful chunk of India’s pharma manufacturing. The HR workload there is shift-based, GMP-tracked, and audit-heavy. Most generic HRMS products handle this poorly.

Telangana also has a relatively narrow PT regime. The exemption goes up to ₹15,000 monthly salary, which is below most IT salaries but above many warehouse and support roles. The slabs themselves are tight (only two: ₹150 and ₹200), but the per-employee location and salary tagging has to be right or your reconciliation breaks.

The T-Hub ecosystem and the broader startup scene around Madhapur and Banjara Hills also drive a lot of early-stage HR work. Founders setting up a 10-person team don’t want to spend two weeks on HRMS implementation. They want to be live in two days.

EasyHR is built around these realities. The defaults assume Hyderabad SME, configurable for the rest.

Telangana compliance, ready out of the box

Set the office location to Telangana and the statutory rules switch on.

Professional tax (Telangana, FY 2026-27)

Monthly salary	PT (₹)
Up to ₹15,000	Nil
₹15,001 - ₹20,000	150
Above ₹20,000	200

EasyHR deducts the right amount each month, generates the relevant returns, and remits to the Telangana Commercial Taxes Department by the 10th of the following month. Late-payment interest is tracked.

Telangana Shops & Establishments Act 1988

The attendance and leave engine handles the parts that hit you day to day:

• 8-hour daily and 48-hour weekly limits on work
• A break required after 5 continuous hours
• One full weekly holiday for every employee
• 12 days of casual leave per year
• 12 days of sick leave per year
• 1 day of earned leave for every 20 days worked

Telangana also requires registration under the Act within 30 days of starting business, with annual renewals. New customers get help with the Telangana Labour Department registration as part of onboarding.

The full statutory feature list is on the payroll software page.

Hyderabad industries we work with

The HR workload looks different across Hyderabad sectors, so the configuration does too.

For IT services and product companies in HITEC City, Gachibowli, Madhapur, Kondapur, Raidurg, and the Financial District, the work is around shift-based attendance for 24/7 support teams, project-billing timesheets, multi-location consolidated payroll, and clean audit trails for client billing reconciliation.

Pharma and life sciences customers along Genome Valley (Shamirpet) and the Patancheru-Bollaram belt need GMP training records that survive audits, shift rotations for production lines, certifications for controlled-substance handlers, and traceable change-of-role audit trails.

Biotech and clinical research customers in the Genome Valley cluster need credential tracking for lab staff, project-based timesheets for clinical trials, and clean separation between staff and contractor records.

For BFSI back-offices and captive operations in HITEC City and the Financial District, the configuration covers KYC-grade verification, regulatory training compliance for SEBI and RBI, and asset issue and return tracking. There’s more on the BFSI HR software page.

BPO and shared-services customers need shift-based attendance, overtime tracking against Telangana S&E Act caps, and break-time enforcement that survives audits.

Startups in the T-Hub ecosystem and around Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, and Madhapur typically need fast onboarding (live in 7 to 10 days), simple performance reviews, and pricing that scales as headcount grows. More on the IT and SaaS fit.

What this looks like in practice

Take a 200-employee Hyderabad pharma R&D operation (we’ll keep them anonymous). They have lab facilities at Genome Valley in Shamirpet, an admin office in HITEC City, and a small QA team based out of the Patancheru manufacturing site.

Their monthly payroll runs as a single pass across three work locations. Telangana PT applies based on each employee’s actual salary slab. EPFO and ESI generate against the Hyderabad regional office. Form 16 generation is centralized.

Their lab staff attendance handles two-shift and three-shift rotations cleanly, with controlled-substance handler certifications tracked against the relevant employees. GMP training records are timestamped and survive client and regulator audits.

When their R&D head needs a workforce report (lab utilization by therapeutic area, training compliance status by team, attrition by function), the data is in EasyHR rather than spread across three spreadsheets and a separate training tool.

Compliance work that used to take a week per quarter (PT remittance, statutory return generation, GMP training audits, EPFO compliance) now runs as single-click reports.

Why teams here pick EasyHR

There’s a Hyderabad team. We do in-person implementation across the metro, including HITEC City, Gachibowli, Madhapur, Kondapur, the Financial District, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, and the Genome Valley belt. Most setups finish in 7 to 14 days.

We’re Telangana-aware from day one. The PT slabs, S&E Act rules, registration and renewal cycle, and the Telangana-specific holiday calendar are all pre-configured. You don’t spend the first week of implementation explaining state-specific rules to a customer success rep who’s never run a Telangana payroll.

Pricing starts at ₹60 per employee per month, billed in INR with clean GST on invoices. There’s no minimum-employee cliff. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.

You can reach us by phone at +91-99302-05985 during business hours, or schedule an in-person demo at your office.

It’s a single product. HR, attendance, payroll, and statutory compliance all sit in one place, not Zoho People plus Zoho Payroll, not greytHR plus a separate compliance tool. One invoice, one admin console, one upgrade path. If you’re comparing, we have writeups on Keka, greytHR, and Zoho People.

What people usually ask

Does EasyHR handle Telangana Professional Tax automatically? It does. The slabs (₹150 for ₹15,001 to ₹20,000 and ₹200 above ₹20,000) are pre-loaded. Monthly remittance to the Commercial Taxes Department happens by the 10th of the following month, and late-payment interest is tracked.

What does it cost for a Hyderabad SME? ₹60 per employee per month on the Starter tier. There’s no minimum headcount, so a 12-person team pays for 12 people. The pricing page has the tier breakdown.

Can I run payroll for a HITEC City office and a Genome Valley lab together? Yes. Whether they’re separate legal entities or branches under one entity, EasyHR consolidates payroll while keeping per-location reporting clean for audits. Office attendance for HITEC City and shift-based lab attendance for Genome Valley run side by side without a problem.

Does it work for office staff and lab/manufacturing staff? Both. Selfie plus GPS plus geofencing for sales and field teams, office geofence for the IT team, biometric integration with shift handling for lab and manufacturing staff. One platform, one report.

Do you handle pharma GMP training records? Yes. Training assignment, completion tracking, certification validity, and re-certification cycles are all handled. Records are timestamped and exportable for audits.

How long does implementation take? Usually 7 to 14 working days for a 50- to 250-person company. The Hyderabad team can do in-person setup at your office. We also run one parallel payroll cycle before cutover so you can compare outputs against your previous system line by line.

Can I migrate from Keka, greytHR, or Zoho People? Yes, we do migrations off all three regularly. Standard scope is employee master, year-to-date payroll history, leave balances, document attachments, org structure, and statutory entity setup. Migration is included in onboarding, no separate fee. Five to ten working days end to end.

Does it handle company-shuttle attendance for HITEC City employees? Yes. Selfie attendance at the shuttle pickup point and office geofence on arrival both register correctly. Attendance is matched against the actual work day, not the commute window.
