Hi all, I have recently started a manpower consultancy in Hyderabad. Currently, I am working on IT domestic recruitment. As part of our expansion, I want to start contract staffing. For this purpose, they are asking for the ESI Code and PF code. I am unsure whether I need to apply for ESI under the Contract Labour Act or the Shop & Establishment Act. Could you please suggest which one is better?
Forms Required for ESI and PF
Also, could you advise on the forms that need to be submitted for ESI and PF?

Since you are starting a contract staffing venture, it is better to have a Contractor License as per the Contract Labour Act, PF, and ESI registration under the respective statutes. These are necessary to establish you as a legal entity separate from the firm where your employees are going to be deployed.

Hi Ravi, greetings for the day. If you have more than 20 employees, please consider the following steps:
• Apply for Shops & Establishments Act registration.
• Ensure contract agreements are in place with more than two companies.
• Submit online ESI Form 01.
• Fill out the PF Performa (download from citehr).
