As far as ESI is concerned, they are covered by the ESI Act, and contributions should be paid at the place of their work, i.e., in India. For EPF, the same rule applies, but I doubt if they fall under international workers. If they do, their contributions will not be limited to 12% of Rs. 6500, but the entire PF qualifying amount (Basic + DA mainly) paid in India will attract PF. However, I am not sure whether persons of Nepalese origin who have migrated to India for permanent settlement are considered foreigners whose details need to be provided to the nearest police station, etc. If they are free to work in India, they will have the same status as any other PF member.

ESI and EPF Liabilities for Indian Companies Expanding in Nepal
An Indian company is expanding its business in Nepal and wishes to recruit Nepali residents for its marketing division in Nepal. What will be the ESI and EPF liabilities for the Indian company regarding these employees? If the company deducts ESI and EPF from these employees, can they avail ESI benefits in Nepal, and what would be the fair practice of PF for these employees?

In that case, the company is bound to honor the social security schemes of Nepal and not our ESI and EPF. If the operational headquarters of the company remains in India, then the EPF will become applicable to the Indian employees employed in Nepal.
