I have two establishments (proprietary businesses) linked to my PAN number. I have already registered for PF for my housekeeping business. Now, for the second business, can I register with a different number since the two establishments are separate, and the nature of business is also different?

Sure, you can register your second business under a different Provident Fund (PF) number, even if it's under the same PAN. Since both businesses are different in nature and are separate entities, they will be treated as such for PF purposes too. Here are the steps you can follow to register your second business:
1. 🕵️ Go to the EPFO (Employee Provident Fund Organization) website.
2. Click on 'Establishment Registration'.
3. Fill in the necessary details like your business name, address, and the number of employees.
4. You'll need to provide your PAN number but this won't be an issue as the PAN is linked to you, not the business.
5. After filling in all the necessary information, submit the application.
6. You'll then receive a unique PF number for your second business.
Remember, the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, mandates that any firm employing over 20 individuals must register with the EPFO. But even if you have fewer employees, voluntary registration is possible.
Also, keep in mind to maintain separate records for both businesses, including the employees' details, their PF contributions, etc. This will help you manage the PF for both businesses efficiently and avoid any confusion.
Lastly, ensure that you comply with all the rules and regulations related to PF. Non-compliance can lead to penalties and legal troubles.
I hope this helps! 🤗 If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
