Shoba Ji, Minimum 20 employees required for ESI / PF Coverage but if your company is dealing with Power then 10 is the minimum limit. Chill HR !!

There was an amendment in ESIC on 16-03-2011 regarding the applicability of the Act to an organization with 10 or more employees for registration, regardless of power usage. For PF registration, a minimum of 20 employees should be present in your establishment on any day of the preceding year.

EPF and ESI Applicability
If you employ 20 or more persons, you will be under the EPF Act. If yours is a factory and employs 10 or more persons, ESI is applicable. If it is a shop or commercial establishment, ESI will be applied if it employs 20 or more persons. Some states have reduced this number to 10. Please confirm with your nearest branch office of ESI. The persons referred to above need not be within the salary limit.

Dear Shoba,
The bonus depends on the basic salary plus DA, if applicable. If you are covered under the Compulsory Bonus Act, then a bonus should be provided at a minimum of 8.33% of the basic amount, even if the company incurred a loss in the previous year. The maximum bonus can be given up to 20%. ESI is applicable to all employees whose basic salary is not more than ₹10,000.
Thanks,

I am working in pharmaceuticals, marketing medicines. This company previously provided ESI facilities to every employee. However, the company was sold to another person, and now the new management has stated that ESIC is not applicable, and they will not provide it for employees. Can I ask for a legal platform? How? Can the employer be punished? The previous employer was providing this facility, and now this company's name is on the list of defaulters on the ESIC's website.
