India has over 1 billion people speaking 24 languages and practicing 7 religions across 35 states. While India is diverse, employee benefits provided by companies vary both with some standard benefits like housing allowances and gratuity provided by most companies and other optional benefits provided by fewer. Common mandatory benefits include provident funds, gratuity, and life insurance while voluntary benefits include leave encashment, medical insurance, and superannuation funds. Insurance companies provide products to cover accident, medical, life, and retirement needs of employees.
