PF Registration is obligatory for establishments with 20 or more employees, and ESIC Registration is obligatory for establishments with 10 or more employees (20 in certain states) where compensation of employees is under predetermined limits.These registrations provide employees with financial security, health insurance, medical treatment, and retirement benefits — hence supporting employee welfare and organizational conformity.

Getting PF & ESIC Registration not only complies with the law but also makes your company more credible and boosts employee retention through provision of statutory benefits.
