PF & ESI Registration
Provident Fund (EPFO) and Employee State Insurance (ESIC) registration - mandatory once your headcount crosses the statutory threshold, filed before it becomes a compliance gap.
PF registration becomes mandatory once employee count reaches 20 (some categories at lower thresholds).
ESI applies at 10 employees in most states, with wage-ceiling eligibility per employee.
Contributions must be deposited by the 15th of the following month - delays draw interest and penalties.
Missing the threshold trigger date can create backdated contribution and penalty liability.
Registered before the threshold becomes a liability.
We track your headcount against PF and ESI thresholds so registration happens on time.
EPFO and ESIC registration filed online with the required employee and establishment details.
Ongoing ECR (Electronic Challan cum Return) filing and challan generation each month.

Part of Layer 1 - Entry, for both setup tracks.
