ESI (Employees’ State Insurance) and PF (Employees’ Provident Fund) registrations are mandatory statutory compliance for eligible establishments in India. These schemes provide social security, healthcare, and retirement benefits to employees while ensuring compliance with labor laws.
ESI is administered by the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) and provides medical, sickness, maternity, and disability benefits to eligible employees and their dependents. Registration is generally mandatory for establishments with 10 or more employees in notified areas, subject to applicable regulations.
PF is managed by the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and serves as a retirement savings scheme. Registration is generally mandatory for establishments employing 20 or more employees, though voluntary registration is also possible.
