PF & ESI Registration for employers

Mandatory social-security registrations once you cross the employee thresholds. We register your establishment on EPFO and ESIC and set up monthly compliance.

What it is

EPF (Employees’ Provident Fund) and ESI (Employees’ State Insurance) are social-security schemes for employees. Employers must register for EPF once they reach the prescribed number of employees, and for ESI for employees earning up to the wage threshold. After registration, contributions are deducted and deposited monthly and returns are filed.

Who should register

Employers who cross the employee thresholds — and businesses that choose to register voluntarily to offer these benefits.

Frequently asked questions

When is PF registration mandatory?

EPF registration is generally mandatory once an establishment employs the prescribed number of employees; voluntary registration is also possible earlier.

When does ESI apply?

ESI applies to establishments with the prescribed number of employees, covering those earning up to the notified wage limit.

What are the contribution rates?

PF and ESI have employer and employee contribution rates set by law; we compute and file these for you.

Can a small business register voluntarily?

Yes — many small employers register voluntarily to offer PF/ESI benefits to their staff.

Note: Employee thresholds, wage limits and contribution rates for PF and ESI are set by law and revised periodically. We apply the current limits and advise you accordingly.
