Navigating PF and ESI Numbers: Do We Need Separate Registrations for Each Branch?

Ankush jolly
Hi everyone, we have branches in various states and now we are looking for a PF number as it is now applicable to us. Can you please tell me whether the PF number should be taken from the registered office or if it can be obtained from any other branch?

ESI Number Requirement

Secondly, should I obtain an ESI number separately for each individual branch, or can a single one serve the purpose?

For EPF, a centralized code is sufficient based on the location of your registered/corporate office. For ESI, you need to obtain a separate sub-code for each of your branch offices.
