Understanding ESIC Coverage: Is PF Contribution Also Mandatory for Employees?

Statutory Obligations for Employees Under ESIC

How do the statutory obligations work if an employee is covered under ESIC? Is it mandatory for that individual to also contribute to PF?

If an employee's salary is not more than Rs. 21,000, then he should be covered by ESI. If the salary is not more than Rs. 15,000, then he should be covered by EPF. Basically, it is the organization that should be covered first. An establishment employing 10 persons will be covered by the ESI Act, and an establishment employing 20 or more employees will come under the EPF Act.
