PF and ESI Registrations
The Employees’ Provident Fund (PF) and Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) are two important social security schemes for employees in India. These schemes provide benefits to employees in case of retirement, disability, and death.
Employees’ Provident Fund (PF)
The Employees’ Provident Fund (PF) is a contributory pension scheme for employees. Under this scheme, both the employer and the employee contribute a fixed percentage of the employee’s salary to a PF account. The money in the PF account is invested by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and the employee can withdraw the money after retirement, disability, or death.
The PF registration is mandatory for all establishments that employ 20 or more employees. The employer is required to register the establishment with the EPFO and deduct PF contributions from the employee’s salary and deposit it with the EPFO.
Employees’ State Insurance (ESI)
The Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) is a social security scheme that provides benefits to employees in case of sickness, maternity, disablement, and death. Under this scheme, the employer contributes a fixed percentage of the employee’s salary to the ESI Corporation. The ESI Corporation provides medical benefits to employees and their families, and also provides cash benefits in case of sickness, maternity, disablement, and death.
The ESI registration is mandatory for all establishments that employ 10 or more employees. The employer is required to register the establishment with the ESI Corporation and deduct ESI contributions from the employee’s salary and deposit it with the ESI Corporation.
