A payslip drawn up in India is issued in INR, in the language and in the form that local law requires. The question is not whether your software can produce a payslip: it is who, on the ground, stands behind what it contains.
Outsourcing payroll in India calls for three prior checks: that the firm is authorised to practise, that it is up to date with its own tax and social security obligations, and that it is insured for the errors it might make. The network verifies these three points before any listing, on supporting documents rather than on statements.
India is a federation, and payroll reflects it. A national framework sets the broad obligations, but registration of premises, the professional tax deducted from salaries and several welfare funds belong to the state where the employee works: an employer present in Bengaluru and in Mumbai deals with two different labour departments.
No European coordination mechanism applies. India has signed a bilateral social security agreement with France which, subject to conditions, exempts a posted employee from joining the Indian provident fund. That application is prepared before the employee arrives, never afterwards.
The Indian rupee is the currency of pay. English is an official language of administration and of business: contracts and pay statements may perfectly well be issued in English, which clearly distinguishes India from China or Japan.
Nothing regulates third-party payroll. No approval is required, which shifts the entire verification effort onto a provider's tax and social security registrations rather than onto any professional credential.
In India, running payroll on behalf of third parties is reserved by law to no registered profession: any company may take it on. The absence of a legal barrier shifts the checking onto you, and that is why the network itself verifies the registration, the tax and social security standing and the insurance cover of every firm before listing it.
