About PF ESI Registration
PF and ESI Registration is a statutory requirement for businesses employing a certain number of workers in India. These schemes are regulated by the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) under the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, and the ESI Act, 1948, respectively.
Provident Fund (PF) ensures retirement savings and financial stability for employees, while Employees' State Insurance (ESI) provides medical and cash benefits in case of sickness, maternity, or employment-related injuries.
Any establishment with 20 or more employees (for PF) and 10 or more employees earning below a certain wage threshold (for ESI) is required to obtain these registrations. These registrations help employers remain compliant with labor laws and enhance employee satisfaction through social security benefits.
