Doubt In PF - Pf Doubt

Hi all,
My query is this:
Company X is headquartered in Mumbai and has the Establishment Code No. obtained for the same location. However, it has various branches in other states. Does this company required to obtain multiple establishment code number for each of its branches/work locations? Or every company will just have only one code number?
Kindly verify. Thanks for your time.

Dear Ram,

If you have more than 20 employee in every location u will have to obtain PF code for every location (state wise)

Warm Regards

dear
i donot agree with the suggestion of mr shashank and you need not to take seprate code for all braches ,it is a central act and you can operate with one code only.
however you can take seprate subcode but for maintaining record it will be impractical.
so operate with one code only legally no problem.

Suggestion of Mr. Malik is right. You can operate with one code and no need to take separate code for each branches .

You can operate with a same code, however in some states they may ask you to open a subcode under main code, where you need to open the code and all your monthly remittance, return needs to done separately.

hello,
as per my experience the PF code has been maintained seperately for the division where i work.and the other sister concerns of my group are also maintaining there own PF CODE.The group has different divisions, bt each division is maintaining its own code.
and u can concern to your regional provident fund office also.

Mr.Malik is right.You need not take various codes.One for the HO is enough for all operations all over India.

hi all
as others told, we can operate with one code number and obtain subcodes with the single PF employer number
