What are EPF & ESI and Who is Legally Covered?
Under the **Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952**, any establishment employing **20 or more staff** must secure mandatory EPFO codes. Similarly, under the **Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948**, businesses employing **10 or more staff** (under Shop & Establishments limits in Tamil Nadu) must register. These deductions protect your employees’ healthcare and post-retirement funds while keeping your firm in absolute compliance.
Understand the exact monthly deduction allocations and statutory employee salary caps.

|---|---|---|---|
| Employee Provident Fund (EPF) | โน15,000 / month | 12.00% | 12.00% (incl. EPS) |

PF & ESI FAQs
Under the EPF Act, registration is mandatory only when your staff count reaches 20. However, employers can voluntarily apply for an EPFO code with the mutual consent of their staff even with fewer than 20 employees. This helps startups attract top-tier talent by offering PF benefits.
The ESI Act mandates coverage for employees whose gross monthly salary is **โน21,000 or less**. If an employee’s gross wage exceeds โน21,000, they fall outside the ESI ceiling, and ESI deductions are no longer applicable to their wage registers.
Any delay beyond the 15th of the next month attracts a mandatory interest rate of **12% per annum** under Section 7Q. Additionally, EPFO levies penal damages under Section 14B, which can scale up to **25% per annum** of the delayed contributions. We file your monthly ECRs on time to protect you from these penalties.
Yes. If your new employees have existing Universal Account Numbers (UANs) from their previous employers, we perform database matches on the EPFO portal to retrieve, link, and activate their existing UAN profiles to ensure continuous pension transfer histories.
