Dear All,
A friend of mine has been offered a job in India from a company “A” abroad. This company does not have any office in India but its sister concern “B” does. He has been instructed by “A” that he will operate from “B”’s office in India and also that his salary would come from B but he ill continue to remain on B’s rolls.
Can this be possible because I feel that if B is processing the salary then the employee will have to be necessarily on B’s rolls. Please help

Hi,
If he is on B's payroll, then he is, in fact, an employee of B. You need to check the terms and conditions with both B and A. Then have a detailed discussion with both HRs. I would advise probing into this more before deciding anything.

If it is known to the public that both the companies are sister concerns, then I think there is no need for much clarification. One is acting as a staffing company, and for the other one, it is outsourcing work. Likewise, Reliance is doing.

This could be the start-up operation for the India office. Hence, the initial few appointment letters are on the corporate office (overseas) letterheads. It also involves setting up the India HR office operation. If yes, then they will start paying from the India office. Not to worry, but be cautious.

Hi,
I think that it might be a company working on behalf of the parent company for some projects, and as soon as the project is over, he may be asked to quit the company. So, check the fundamentals of the company before making a decision.

Hi Prachi,
In the event of you being located at Company B's office in India, Company A can request Company B to take on the roles of the company under the circumstances mentioned on a secondment. This means that you would receive your letter of appointment from Company A in the first place, then you receive a secondment letter from A to B with the terms and conditions. B then issues a letter of appointment to you mentioning the period of secondment, which is renewable periodically. Your salary will be paid by B until such time that A does not have a legal entity in India.
Alternatively, A can remit your salary from overseas into your account here as an employee.

Which company is responsible for deducting PF and complying with other legal formalities in case of secondment? Is it the responsibility of the company to which employees have been seconded, or can the parent company continue to deduct and pay PF while the salary is paid by the seconded company?
