How to Register for ESIC and the Provident Fund for Companies in India
In the ever-changing world of corporate growth, it's very important to follow the rules set by the government. If a firm wants to grow in India and engage new workers, it is very important to know the ins and outs of registering for Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) and Provident Fund (PF).
Key criteria for companies to follow with ESIC and PF plans
When a business has more than 10 employees, it must register with ESIC.
PF registration is required when there are 20 or more employees.
Businesses can, however, proactively file for PF registration at any time, which helps their employees save money on taxes.
How the Provident Fund plan works
The Provident Fund is more than just a way to save money; it's a way for both employers and employees to make regular payments into the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) account. The current contribution rate is 12% of the employee's base pay.
Ways to give:
Give INR 1,800 every month: A set amount that doesn't change based on the basic wage.
Give 12 percent of your base salary: Great for people who make a lot of money and want to make the most of their donations.
Tax benefits: Under Section 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961, contributions can be deducted from taxes. A company can also choose to join the PF system at any time, thus there is no need for a minimum of 20 employees.
How to sign up: To start the PF registration process, a company must get the following documents:
Form 11 must have the signature of each employee who gives their consent.
EPF sample sign card with three signatures from the Director on behalf of the employer.
There are certain documents that are needed, such as the company's letterhead, a copy of the employer's and company's PAN Card and Aadhaar Card, proof of ownership or rental of the company's premises, a list of employees with their father's name, job title, and salary, a copy of the GST certificate, a list of machinery if the company is a manufacturing business, and each employee's Aadhaar Card, bank account information, and mobile number, among other things.
The registration process usually takes 10 to 15 days, and then login information is sent out to make compliance easier.
When the PF goes into effect, the employer should make sure that the employees' pay structure includes provident fund components, which is a cost to the company (CTC), and let the employees know about any changes.
How the Employee's State Insurance Corporation works
The ESIC is a health and social security program for enterprises with ten or more employees.
The ESIC is a key part of employee welfare in India's organized sector.It provides medical care, cash benefits for disability, maternity benefits, and financial help in case of death on the job.
Employees put in 0.75% of their pay, and employers put in 3.25%.
Salary limit: ESIC only applies to workers who have a gross monthly salary of INR 21,000 or less.
In short
Signing up for the ESIC and PF programs shows that a company is following the rules and is also committed to the health and financial security of its employees.
