Dear Gurdial Singh, If no body comes within the ceiling limit, there is no question of statutory obligation to pay to PF, provided non of the above registered with EPFO. Abbas.P.S

I would like to raise a question here : -
How it could be that a firm is covered under ESIC but not under PF.
Aplicability of both these act are same. The date when ESIC become applicable to that perticular orgaisation, PF also would be applicable.
I just want to understand the scnerio.

Dear Gurdial,

If the co. Is having 20 or more employees, it is automatically covered under EPF Act. If the Bas+DA is more 15000, then it not mandatory to cover the employees. But if the employee is already a member through his previous employment then Co. will have to extend the membership to him. Other employees can be exempted. Co. will have to take the no. but no compulsion for contribution.

ESI- is applicable when there are 20 no. of employees whose gross salary is 15000 or less. If this condition is not fulfilled Co. is not eligible for coverage. Eg. Call centres are having 100 of employees but due to higher salary (more than 15000) it is not covered under ESI Act.

Employee- if an appointed person is working fully and solely for a company, he is not a consultant but an employee. Just by designation and deduction of TDS he'll not be considered as a Consultant. Consultant has his own office and having multiple clients. He raises his professional charges bill. Due to this misconception many Co.s have suffered.
