PF & ESI Registration (Both)

If your establishment has 20+ employees, PF registration is mandatory. If it has 10+ employees with salary up to ₹21,500, ESI registration is also required. Many businesses need both. We can check your specific requirements.

Combined registration saves time and cost. Instead of managing two separate processes, we handle everything together. Documents are prepared once for both registrations, and we coordinate with both EPFO and ESIC simultaneously.

Both registrations are typically completed within 7-10 working days. PF and ESI applications are filed simultaneously, and we track both until certificates are issued.

For PF: Employee 12% + Employer 12% (total 24% of basic+DA). For ESI: Employee 0.75% + Employer 3.25% (total 4% of wages). The combined statutory burden is manageable and provides extensive social security benefits to employees.

Yes, but doing both together is more efficient. You can also register for one first and the other later. However, if both are applicable, delaying registration may attract penalties.

For PF: damages up to 17% per annum on arrears, prosecution, and imprisonment up to 3 years. For ESI: damages up to 25% of contribution amount, interest at 15% per annum, and prosecution. Timely registration is essential to avoid these serious penalties.

Yes, a Class 3 DSC of the employer or authorized signatory is required for PF registration on the EPFO portal. We assist in obtaining the DSC if you don't already have one. DSC is used for digitally signing the registration application.

PF is a retirement benefit scheme where employees and employers contribute 12% each towards provident fund, pension, and insurance. ESI is a medical and social security scheme with contributions of 0.75% (employee) and 3.25% (employer). PF covers retirement savings, ESI covers health benefits.

Yes, both PF and ESI allow voluntary registration for establishments with fewer employees than the prescribed thresholds. Voluntary registration is a good practice for employee welfare and can be a competitive advantage in talent retention.

Common documents include: PAN card of establishment, Aadhaar cards of partners/directors, business registration certificate, address proof (rent agreement or electricity bill), bank account details, and employee list with salary details. We help you prepare a single set of documents for both.
