Hello All,
I want to know if it is compulsory to have ESIC registration for taking PF registration. I am working in a company where the employer does not have ESIC and EPF registration. We want to register our company for PF, but someone told us that ESIC is first and compulsory for taking PF registration, and without ESIC, you can't register for PF. Please provide me with related information as soon as possible.

Dear member,
1. The coverage under EPF & MP Act and ESI Act, 1948 is different. There is no link between these Acts. It will be better to approach authorities as created under these enactments for coverage.
2. The coverage under ESI Act is limited to the implemented areas as declared under section 1(3) of said Act, and the minimum number of persons so employed is 10 or more. On the other hand, the coverage under EPF & MP Act is different.
3. It will be even better if you go through the above Acts and rules/regulations framed thereunder.

PF is a must and first, then the ESIC. For ESIC, you can register online. When you register with ESIC, they ask for your PF number. The PF act states that if you exceed the employee limit from the first day, you have to pay PF, so PF registration has to be done first. For this, you have to go to the PF office, submit the required docs, and get registered.
For ESIC, you can directly register on the website and pay contributions. After getting registered online, your ESIC C-11 form will be generated, and the local ESIC branch manager will send you the signed copy to your registered address. Online, you have to fill in all the required columns. This is my personal experience.

Okay, thank you for the grading information. Could you also please clarify one thing here: if we have registered a company but did not opt for ESIC facility, and now, after one year, we want to register for ESIC, is it compulsory to pay ESIC contributions for the previous year?

Dear Aahna,
If you have ESIC registration and employees earning less than ₹15,000 per month, you need to contribute to ESIC regardless of whether you have taken the facility or not. Furthermore, if you have not contributed for the previous year, my recommendation is that you ascertain the liability and deposit the same as soon as possible to avoid any legal penalties.
Please let me know if you need any further clarification.
Best regards,
