Hi Experts,
It would be great if someone could guide me. I run a company with 28 employees as of today in Pune, Maharashtra. All have gross salaries above 21,000/ per month. All are covered under EPF. Now, one of my clients is insisting on having ESIC registration.
Here are my questions:
1. Without having any employees with a gross salary below 21k, is it mandatory to have ESIC registration?
2. If it is mandatory, the online ESIC employer registration portal is not allowing to enter any number less than 20.
I am looking for help and advice. Thanks

Referrring to your mail, you have stated that all your employees have gross salary above 21000/-
but they are covered under PF. PF salary ceiling is only 15000/-. Those employees whose salary
is upto Rs.15000/- could be covered under PF.
Currently, ESI is applicable to only establishments (Factory, Shop, Commercial establishments, Educational Institutions, Hospitals,Laboratories) where minimum 10 employees have worked for minimum one day. Now new Labour Code is approved by President of India, and also published in Official Gazette, dated 29th Sept 2020.
As per new Code, even if only one employee is working in establishments where hazardous or life threatening work is carried out, ESI conditions shall be applicable.
While considering “wages” for making contributions, the components such as House rent allowance, overtime allowance, commission, travel allowance are excluded, as per new Code
