We are a two year old partnership firm operating a restaurant in Bangalore. We have been deducting ESI from all employees since the start of operations. We understand that the ESI deduction is applicable only if the total employees are more than 10. We have now scaled down our operation to a total staff strength of 6. Do we still need to deduct ESI? Also, what is the process to inform the ESI department about this change?
Similarly, on the PF, we only recently got to know that PF is to be paid only when the employee has a certain salary level. Can you please clarifiy what is the maximum salary under which PF is paid?
Yours truly
Rakesh
