Startup Dilemma in Telangana: Do We Need EPFO Registration with Less Than 20 Employees?

GSI
For a Pvt Ltd. company startup in Telangana, is it mandatory to register with EPFO when the number of employees is less than 20 and we are already registered with ESIC?

If 10 or more employees are working in your organization, then PF registration is mandatory.

When did the PF limit get reduced to 10?

Mr. GSI, you do not need to register under PF if you have fewer than 20 employees. If you are a newly formed company, they may have created a PF ID for you automatically; you need to get that canceled.
