Provident Fund (PF) and Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Guidelines

PF - An employee at the time of joining the employment and receiving wages (basic + DA) up to Rs. 6,500/- is compulsorily required to become a member. If the employee's emoluments exceed Rs. 6,500/- (basic + DA) per month, he/she has the option to join the Scheme(s) with the consent of the employer or opt out of it.

ESIC - As your CA salary is below Rs. 15,000/-, you have to be covered under ESI.
