Who we are

Legal understanding. Practical execution.

Sankhla brings legal understanding and day-to-day compliance work together. Through M.S. Sankhla & Co. and Sankhla Corporate Services Pvt. Ltd., we support businesses with recurring statutory work, payroll preparation or verification, registrations, audits and employer advisory.

Our approach starts with your establishment, workforce and locations. We define what needs to be done, what information is required, who approves the work and what records should be retained. You can appoint us for a specific requirement or a coordinated ongoing scope.

Before we begin

Answers for your HR and finance teams.

Understand the scope, handover and responsibilities before appointing a compliance partner.

Discuss your requirement ↗
Can we appoint Sankhla for only one service?

Yes. The engagement can cover one registration, a compliance review, payroll verification, a vendor audit or a recurring combination. The proposal defines the locations, period, deliverables and exclusions.

Do you prepare payroll or only verify it?

Both models are available. We can prepare payroll from attendance and approved salary inputs, or independently verify salary sheets prepared by your team. The responsibility split is agreed before work begins.

Can you work with our current payroll software?

We can review suitable salary-sheet and attendance exports from your existing process. File formats, required fields and any system access must be agreed during onboarding. A software replacement or API integration is not assumed.

How are vendor and contractor audits carried out?

The agreed audit checks records and evidence made available for the specified period and locations. Site visits are included only where scoped. Findings identify gaps and corrective actions; they are not continuous monitoring or a guarantee of contractor compliance.

Can you support establishments in different states?

Yes. We map the work by entity, establishment and state, then agree the delivery responsibilities and input owners. A city listed as a service area does not necessarily mean that Sankhla has an office there.

What information is needed to start?

Usually the entity and location details, employee or contractor strength, registrations, recent payroll or statutory records, current concerns and the services required. The exact checklist depends on the scope.

Who approves filings and makes payments?

Your authorised team retains management decisions, approvals and payment-release authority. Our execution responsibilities and any authorised access are documented in the engagement.

How are fees and turnaround times agreed?

They depend on the establishments, states, headcount, services, frequency and condition of the records. The proposal sets the scope, fees, input cut-offs, review cycle and turnaround commitments. Statutory payments and government fees are identified separately.

A structured start

A clear handover makes a better engagement.

01

Share your requirement

Tell us your locations, headcount, service needs and current concerns.

02

Agree the scope

Confirm deliverables, exclusions, fees, input dates and approval owners.

03

Organise the handover

Collect masters, registrations, prior records and agreed access.

04

Begin the review cycle

Start the agreed work and review pending items through the escalation route.

Timelines and fees are agreed after reviewing the scope and the completeness of your records. We do not assume a fixed go-live period for every establishment.
