Research Notices and Disclaimers

Last updated: 14 May 2026

§1. Nature of Asanify Research publications

Asanify Research publishes research and educational material relating to Employer of Record, payroll, employment, taxation, and related areas of Indian and cross-border law and practice. Each Asanify Research publication analyses publicly available information as understood by Asanify Research as of the publication date stated on that publication’s cover. Asanify Research is the research arm of Asanify Technologies Private Limited, an India-headquartered Employer of Record operating as a wholly-owned Indian subsidiary.

§2. Not legal, tax, or other professional advice

Nothing in any Asanify Research publication is legal, tax, accounting, investment, immigration, employment, or compliance advice. Asanify is not a law firm, a chartered accountancy firm, or a tax-practitioner firm registered under Section 288 of the Income-tax Act 1961. Readers must consult qualified Indian counsel and qualified Indian tax advisers on the specific facts of their arrangement before acting on any content in any Asanify Research publication.

§3. No advisory or fiduciary relationship

Reading any Asanify Research publication does not create an attorney-client, accountant-client, fiduciary, advisory, or contractual relationship between the reader and Asanify or any individual associated with Asanify. Communications with Asanify in response to any Asanify Research publication, including through scheduling links, email addresses, or contact forms referenced in the publication, do not establish any such relationship until and unless a written engagement agreement is signed between the reader and Asanify.

§4. Sources and methodology

Asanify Research publications draw on (a) primary statutory text where available, accessed via indiacode.nic.in, e-Gazette India, the Reserve Bank of India website, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation portal, Indian Kanoon, and the websites of the relevant courts and tribunals; (b) named secondary practitioner sources where primary text is inaccessible or where commentary is helpful, including advisories from Big4 firms (KPMG, EY, Deloitte, PwC) and Indian law firms (Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, AZB & Partners, Nishith Desai Associates, Khaitan & Co., and others); and (c) Asanify’s anonymised aggregated proprietary operational data as described in each publication’s methodology note. Citation to a secondary source is attribution, not endorsement. None of the cited firms has reviewed or endorsed any Asanify Research publication unless that publication expressly states otherwise.

§5. Currency of information

Indian labour, tax, exchange-control, and corporate law is undergoing active reform. Statutory provisions, regulations, gazetted notifications, court rulings, and regulatory positions cited in Asanify Research publications reflect Asanify Research’s understanding as of the cover date of the relevant publication. Positions may have changed since publication. Readers must verify the current position before relying on any specific claim.

§6. Forward-looking statements

Statements in Asanify Research publications concerning future regulatory implementation (including state-level Labour Code rule notifications, EPFO enforcement direction, Finance Act effective dates, GST Council recommendations and their enactment, and similar matters) are forward-looking and reflect Asanify Research’s assessment of publicly available information. They are not predictions and they are not guarantees. Actual outcomes may differ. Asanify Research does not undertake to update forward-looking statements.

§7. Comparative observations about other Employer of Record providers

Where an Asanify Research publication describes practices of “global EOR platforms,” “platform-style providers,” or “generalist EOR vendors” as a class, those descriptions reflect Asanify Research’s general observations based on publicly available information and are not warranted as a complete or current account of any individual provider’s practice. Unless the publication expressly names a competitor in a side-by-side comparison, Asanify Research publications do not name specific competitors. Readers comparing specific Employer of Record providers should consult each provider’s own documentation directly.

§8. Asanify operational data

Where an Asanify Research publication cites Asanify-specific operational metrics (including onboarding time, payroll execution rate, client cohort sizes, time-to-close, and similar measures), those figures reflect Asanify’s measurement against its committed control window for the period stated and exclude delays attributable to candidate-side, client-side, banking-system, or other third-party factors as defined in the relevant operational system. They are descriptive of past performance and are not commitments, warranties, or service-level guarantees. Asanify’s actual service-level commitments to any client are contained in that client’s written Master Services Agreement, and the Master Services Agreement controls in the event of any inconsistency.

§9. Third-party trademarks, court rulings, and named entities

Court rulings cited in Asanify Research publications are reported as of the cited date and may be modified, distinguished, or reversed on appeal or in subsequent proceedings. Trademarks, trade names, and identifying references to third parties in Asanify Research publications, including parties to cited judicial proceedings, named companies and their executives quoted from public reporting, and named law firms and accounting firms cited as sources, are the property of their respective owners. Mention does not imply endorsement of, sponsorship by, or affiliation with any such party.

§10. No warranty

Asanify Research publications are provided “as is.” Asanify Research makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, currency, suitability for purpose, or fitness for any particular use of the information contained in any Asanify Research publication.

§11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Asanify Technologies Private Limited, Asanify Research, and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents shall not be liable to any reader or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from reliance on, or use of, the information in any Asanify Research publication, even if Asanify has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

§12. Updates and corrections

Asanify Research reserves the right to revise any Asanify Research publication and these standing notices without notice. Subsequent editions of a publication are published with a version number and a revised currency date on the cover. To report a factual correction or provide feedback on any Asanify Research publication, write to research@asanify.com.

§13. Intellectual property

© Asanify Technologies Private Limited. All rights reserved. Excerpts from Asanify Research publications may be quoted with attribution to “Asanify Research, [publication title and year].” Full redistribution, mirroring, framing, or republication of any Asanify Research publication, in whole or substantially in whole, requires prior written permission of Asanify Research.

§14. Jurisdictional notice and governing law

Asanify Research publishes from India. Asanify Research publications are intended for a global readership but are not directed to readers in any jurisdiction where their distribution, or any product or service referenced in them, would be unlawful. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with any Asanify Research publication or these notices shall be governed by the laws of India and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Kolkata, West Bengal, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rights a reader may have in their jurisdiction of residence.

§15. Privacy and personal data

These notices govern the reading and use of Asanify Research publications. They do not govern Asanify’s processing of personal data. If you provided personal information to access any Asanify Research publication (for example, by completing a lead form, subscribing to research updates, or using a scheduling link), or if you visit asanify.com, that processing is governed by Asanify’s Privacy Policy at asanify.com/privacy. The Privacy Policy controls in the event of any inconsistency between these notices and the Privacy Policy on matters of personal-data processing.

§16. Severability

If any provision of these notices is held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the original intent.
