Dear Sir,
I am the proprietor of a small-scale service industry related to the telecom field located in Bangalore. Currently, there are about 5 regular employees on our payroll. We provide services related to telecom survey and installation.
I would like to inquire whether we need to register under the PF and ESIC act or if we are exempt from these formalities.
Your guidance would be highly appreciated.

You mentioned having 5 regular employees on roles. What does this mean? Does this imply that the total employee count is only 5, or do you have other employees such as probationary or contract workers?
ESI & PF Regulations
In terms of ESI & PF regulations, it is explicitly stated that any form of employment, whether regular on roles, off-roles, or probationary, should be considered. Once the total employee count reaches 10, you are required to register for ESI, and for PF registration, you need a minimum of 20 employees. However, you can still opt for voluntary PF registration.
I trust that you have obtained the labor registration certificate.
Kind regards,
