EPF/ESI guidance (India)

Practical, employer‑friendly EPF/ESI support: what’s needed, what to check, and how to avoid common delays.

Applicability of EPF

The Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, applies to factories and industries with 20 or more employees, as well as any other establishment employing 20 or more people as notified by the Central Government. It applies across India, mandating registration for these entities to provide retirement benefits. Employees with a monthly salary (Basic + DA) up to ₹15,000 must join.

Applicability of ESI

The ESI Act, 1948 applies to non-seasonal factories and specific establishments (shops, hotels, restaurants, cinema, etc.) employing 10 or more persons. It covers employees earning a monthly gross wage of up to ₹21,000 (₹25,000 for persons with disability) to provide medical, sickness, and maternity benefits.

Contribution basics

Employee contribution is commonly 12% (or 10% in certain eligible cases). Employer contribution is split, including 8.33% towards EPS (subject to EPFO rules and wage ceilings).

Know the split
e‑Nomination

e‑Nomination can be completed in the UAN portal after Aadhaar verification, typically via OTP-based e-sign.

Avoid claim issues
Online claims

Many online claims are initiated in the UAN portal under “Claim (Form-31, 19, 10C & 10D)” after KYC is approved.
