At TaxProClarity, we understand navigating the complex business landscape is a daunting task. To help you we have a dedicated team of advisors offering customized and comprehensive PF ESIC Registration services to help with compliance and propel your brand further.
What is PF ESIC Registration?
Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) and Provident Fund (PF) are social security schemes provided by the Indian government. While ESIC offers health insurance, PF is on the frontline of providing employees with retirement benefits.
Employees Provident Fund (PF)
The Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act of 1952 established the employee’s PF. It is regulated by the Employee’s Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), the largest social security organization in the world in terms of transactions and clientele.
PF works like a savings scheme, with employers and employees contributing. Currently, the contribution is 12% of an employee’s basic salary.
Why should you register for PF for Your Employees?
Registering for PF is a critical employee step, especially because the Indian government operates on a tax-deducted-at-source (TDS) system. Further, you can only process the remittance after generating challans via the EPFO employer portal.
Creating a PF account is vital for many reasons, including:
- Retirement benefits – A PF account assures financial security after employment. The monthly contributions accumulate and earn interest, offering a substantial cushion when an employee retires.
- Promoting savings– Registering in the EPF scheme will encourage your employees to cultivate a saving culture. The contributions from yourself and the employee encourage long-term financial planning while instilling a culture of saving.
- Administration ease – Registering helps simplify managing your contributions and those of the employee. The scheme also makes withdrawals easier, reducing your administrative tasks tremendously for a flawless adherence to labor laws.
- Tax benefits – Contributions made under PF are eligible for deduction under the Income Tax Act.
- Help during financial crisis – The employee’s PF account is a safety net against financial difficulties. Contributors can make partial withdrawals or request loans from the savings in case of challenging times.

Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC)
The ESIC is an autonomous entity under the Ministry of Labor and Employment. It provides your employees with social security. The scheme allows employees in India to contribute to a healthcare and self-financed fund. ESIC is administered and regulated according to the rules provided in the Indian ESI Act of 1948.
The ESIC is India’s most popular need-based social insurance scheme. It helps protect the interests of employees in events such as disability, maternity, illness, injuries at the workplace, and much more. The fund offers healthcare and cash benefits to participants.
What are the eligibility criteria for ESIC?
Non-seasonal factories and other establishments with over 10 employees (20 in some states) must register with ESIC. However, these employees must have a maximum basic salary of Rs. 21,000 monthly. You need to complete the ESIC registration within 15 days of reaching the minimum thresholds.
Under the scheme, you will contribute 3.25% of the employee’s monthly salary to the fund and the employee will contribute 0.75%. However, employees earning less than Rs. 176 daily are exempt from contributing to the kitty.
It is your responsibility as the employer to contribute to the ESIC fund by deducting the contributions from employee salaries and combining them with their own. Plus, always deposit these contributions within 15 days of the last day of the month online or to authorized banks.
What are the Benefits of PF and ESIC Registration?
Registering for the scheme provides several benefits for yourself and your employees.
Advantages for the employer include:
- All employers are legally required to register, so registration helps you comply with the regulations and also attract top talent
- Registering for PF and ESI helps with improving productivity and loyalty from employees covered
- Registration also helps minimize employee absenteeism
- Last, the payments you make are considered as deductible business expenses
For the employee:
- Access to financial support in case of emergencies such as funerals, injuries, and illness
- Assurance of work stability which leads to better efficiency and peace of mind
- Financial protection after retirement through a lump sum withdrawal
- PF and ESIC benefits are easily transferable across employers
