Dear
It is very simple to judge the applicability of ESI as well as PF Act to your company, If you are engaging and employing 10 and more then 10 employees in your company, you are required to get registration with the ESI Authorities. It is an immaterial thing how much is the salary of the employees deployed in your company. Even in the case, when the employees are getting more then Rs15000/- per month, you establishment is required to be get registered with the ESI Authority. If you are employing with 10 employees, kindly login upon esic.in and you can do online registration.
As far as question of provident fund applicability belongs, in accordance with the provision of section 1 (3), if you are employing 20 employees whether direct or indirect, you have to get registered with the Regional PF Office of your area by filling up a simple application in Coverage proforma and attaching with required documents like your legal setup documents, PAN of your company, Service Tax No of your company, if you have, TAN of Company, Residential Proof of the Promoters, Directors, list of employees, 1st Sale Bill/Invoice, 1st Purchase bill equipment etc.
The specimen of Coverage proforma under EPF and MP Act, 1952 and Form no 01 under ESI Act is attached herewith for your ready reference.
