Salary Processing vs Payroll Management: What’s the Difference?
- 22 September 26
- Wisecor
From listed UK plcs to venture-backed scaleups, finance and HR leaders trust Wisecor to run their India back-office end to end.
India has its own payroll calendar, its own tax cycle, and statutory filing deadlines that don't pause for your UK board meeting schedule. Your UK finance team can't keep pace with GST due dates, TDS cycles, and ROC filings on top of their existing workload. Your India team is strong on execution but thin on process and documentation. And every quarter, something lands back on your UK CFO's desk as a query that should have been resolved months earlier.
Wisecor closes that gap. We run your India back-office as a fully documented, calendar-driven operation — so your UK leadership receives accurate India reporting without having to manage the machinery that produces it.
Private Limited Company incorporation, registered office, statutory director, PAN/TAN, GST registration, and FEMA FC-GPR filing for your inbound FDI — managed end to end.

Common questions from UK companies setting up and running India operations with Wisecor.
Incorporation of a Private Limited Company typically takes 45–60 days from execution of incorporation documents. This includes MCA filing, PAN/TAN registration, GST registration, and bank account opening. FEMA Form FC-GPR filing for the initial FDI from the UK parent runs parallel and is completed within 30 days of share allotment.
Yes. We produce India statutory accounts under Ind AS alongside a UK-aligned management pack with the same line items, reporting period, and variance commentary your UK finance team reviews. This eliminates the translation work between India compliance and UK consolidation.
We prepare a contemporaneous transfer pricing study, maintain supporting documentation for intercompany transactions, and file Form 3CEB with Indian income tax authorities annually. We coordinate with your UK tax advisors to ensure the India TP position is consistent with your UK filings.
Yes. We provide the India entity, registered office, statutory director, EOR services during ramp-up, HR policy framework, payroll infrastructure, and finance reporting — covering the full operational setup while your UK team focuses on capability deployment and hiring.
We charge a fixed monthly fee per scope, agreed in advance. UK clients typically see a 40–50% cost saving compared to equivalent UK in-house finance and HR rates. We provide a full fee proposal after a 30-minute intake call — no obligation.
Yes. All FEMA obligations — FC-GPR for inbound FDI, FC-TRS for secondary transfers, and the Annual Performance Report to RBI — are managed by our team and included in our India compliance scope. You receive confirmation and copies of each filing.
