Company Restarted Under ROC: Are Our Employees Covered by PF & ESI with Less Than 20 Staff?

Company Restarted Under ROC

We have the PF & ESI number, but our employees are less than 20. Are they covered under this act?

Hi, once you have registered with PF/ESI and a number is allotted, you will remain under their purview regardless of the employee strength, whether it is above 20 or less than 20.

Automated ESI, EPF, and PT Returns

Nowadays, ESI, EPF, and PT (for a few states) are generated automatically from the MCS portal; hence, returns must be submitted. If no employees are covered under ESI/EPF, NIL returns need to be submitted. If anyone falls under the purview of ESI and EPF, returns shall be submitted for the covered employees.
