State of India EOR 2026
The primary-source guide for US and global companies hiring in India via Employer of Record. Six tribunal and Supreme Court rulings in 18 months redrew the PE line. The widely-quoted EOR-to-entity crossover and loaded-cost benchmarks are wrong. The report walks the post-2025 framework, the gratuity cliff most exit plans miss, and the contractor misclassification enforcement window now open.

Visa, nationalisation quotas, social-security mechanics, and end-of-service gratuity rules across the three highest-traffic Gulf corridors. EOR-to-entity crossover and the labour-court enforcement posture in each jurisdiction.
