Understanding the Provident Fund and ESI Act: Can Anyone Share Detailed Insights?

I would like to receive complete details of the Provident Fund Act and ESI Act.

Dear Sumansharma441,

Complete details of any enactment cannot be provided in such a forum. You need to read bare Acts, case laws, notifications, circulars by the department, comments by experts, etc. Have your own interpretation and convince others of your point of view. Your specific query or doubt on any issue can be answered here by the members or experts.

Bare Acts are available online, but a guarantee of their updating cannot be given. Regarding government websites, it is better if I don't comment on them. Some books are available in the market, e.g., "Employers' Guide" by SR Samant.

I am a member of this forum just like you. I do not know whether I can respond like this. I may be excused if I said anything wrong.

Regards.

If you are really keen to understand the above two laws and related rules, I too suggest, as Mr. Keshav Korgaonkar suggests, to purchase an updated version of the law books published (say 2013). This will carry the bare act, along with explanations and related rules. This will definitely help you to understand deeper than any abridged version like PowerPoint (PPT) or PDF attachments.

With regards,

Suresh

Inquiry on PF and ESIC Compliance for Contractual Employees

We have 50 contractual employees in the pharmaceutical industry who are receiving a consolidated salary. We are not currently deducting their PF and ESIC. I would like to know what the Himachal Government's rule is regarding consolidated salary, as PF and ESIC may or may not be applicable.

Kindly guide me on how we can legally save on ESIC and PF compliances.
