PF & ESI Registration for Employers in India
Once you hire beyond a threshold, provident fund (EPF) and employees' state insurance (ESI) become mandatory — statutory social security your business must deduct, contribute and file every month.
Getting registered on time and running the monthly contributions and returns correctly matters: lapses attract interest, damages and penalties, and expose the business to inspections.
Key features and requirements
- EPF: generally applies to establishments with 20 or more employees
- ESI: generally applies with 10 or more employees, for those within the wage ceiling (₹21,000/month)
- Both require monthly contribution and return filing
- Employee and employer both contribute at prescribed rates
- Voluntary coverage is possible below the thresholds
