Hello Anwar Pradeep,
Let's start by clarifying each point you've raised regarding PF (Provident Fund) & ESI (Employee State Insurance):
1. Employer PF & ESI Registration:
* PF & ESI Registration Fees: There are no fees for registering for PF or ESI. You just need to comply with the requirements and follow the procedures set by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and the Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC).
* PF & ESI - Minimum Number of Employees: For PF, it's applicable if you have 20 or more employees. For ESI, it's applicable if you have 10 or more employees.
* PF & ESI Registration Documents & Process: For both PF and ESI registration, you would need the following:
- A filled application form
- Proof of business (like a license)
- PAN card of the business
- Bank account details
- Details of all employees
- Address proof
* Log In Details: Once you are registered, you will receive login credentials to access the respective portals for PF and ESI.
2. Employees PF & ESI Registration:
* Prescribed Form of Registration: For employees, Form 2 is used for PF and Form 1 for ESI.
* Document requirement: Employees need to submit their personal details, bank account details, and KYC documents like PAN, Aadhaar, etc.
3. Submission of PF & ESI Return:
* Online Challan & Due Date: PF returns need to be filed monthly and are due on the 25th of the following month. ESI returns are due semi-annually in May and November. Payments are made through specific challans (PF Challan Form 5/10, ESI Challan) available in the respective portals.
Remember, non-compliance with these regulations can lead to penalties and legal issues. Do let me know if you need more information.
