Why register on time?
Registration is mandatory within one month of crossing the threshold. Delays lead to damages, interest and penalties, and the employer becomes liable for contributions from the date of applicability. Proper registration also helps you hire and retain employees who value these benefits.
What employees get
- EPF – a retirement savings account with interest, the Employees' Pension Scheme for a monthly pension after retirement, and EDLI life insurance cover while in service.
- ESI – medical care for the employee and their family at ESI hospitals and dispensaries, cash benefits during sickness, maternity benefit, and support in case of disability or death from an employment injury.
These benefits are a real draw for staff, and registering on time lets you offer them from day one.
Your obligations after registration
- Register every new joiner – a UAN for PF and an IP number for ESI – and mark exits on time.
- Deduct the employee's share from salary and pay both shares by the 15th of the following month, with the monthly return.
- Keep attendance, wage and contribution records, and display the required notices at the workplace.
- Report accidents and help employees with ESI and PF claims.
- Respond to inspections and notices from EPFO and ESIC.
Our PF and ESI return filing service takes care of the monthly work after registration.
Labour codes
The labour codes now in force bring PF and ESI rules under the Code on Social Security, with a wider definition of "wages" for calculating contributions. We register you under the current rules and help you review salary structures so contributions are calculated correctly.
What we do
- Register your establishment on the EPFO and ESIC portals
- Obtain your establishment code and ESIC employer code
- Generate UANs and ESI IP numbers for employees
- Set up monthly ECR and ESI return filing and payment schedules
