Dear Member, Obtaining PF /ESI code number is not limited by territorial jurisdiction so One may take PF and ESI code reflecting the particulars of current contract in the State Of Karnataka also but it would be advisable that he may may attempt to obtain the PF/ESI code number for his firm from the regional office of his area in Bihar. It may be creating conveniences on him later.
