What to Watch Out For — Hidden EOR Costs in India
Some EOR providers advertise low headline rates but charge separately for:
- Onboarding fees (one-time per employee)
- Offboarding or exit processing fees
- Background verification charges
- Currency conversion fees on top of payroll
- Annual compliance filing fees charged separately
- Minimum contract periods with penalties for early exit
XMS pricing is all-inclusive. There are no setup fees, no exit fees, and no minimum contract period. You can scale up or down monthly.
When EOR Is More Cost-Effective Than Setting Up Your Own Entity
Setting up a Private Limited Company in India costs ₹2–5L in professional fees plus ₹3–8L annually in ongoing compliance. At XMS EOR rates, this means:
- For 1–5 employees: EOR is significantly cheaper for the first 3–4 years
- For 6–15 employees: EOR and entity setup are roughly comparable on cost
- For 15+ employees: Entity setup starts to make economic sense
Beyond cost, EOR eliminates the operational complexity of managing Indian statutory filings, audit requirements, and HR compliance in-house. Most clients continue using XMS payroll services even after setting up their own entity.
