“As we approach Union Budget 2026–27, the spotlight shifts from policy announcement to ground-level practice. With the historic notification of the four Labour Codes in late 2025, India stands at a critical execution phase – one that will redefine the employer–employee relationship.
For MSMEs, this transition is the biggest challenge of the year. Our hope is that the Budget prioritises ‘compliance infrastructure’ over mere regulation. We need specific incentives for small businesses to adopt digital payroll and HR tools, ensuring the shift to the new wage and social security norms is intuitive, not intimidating.
Furthermore, rationalising GST for labor services and simplifying audit thresholds will provide immediate relief to operational cash flows. As an HR tech platform trusted by over 30,000 businesses, greytHR sees technology as the bridge between complex regulation and confident execution. This Budget is an opportunity to unlock India’s workforce potential by making compliance smarter, faster, and easier to adopt.”
