Hi, We have got 2 firms (separate) and the employee details are as follows
1. IT Training firm
Total no: of employees is 8. Of this 7 are drawing less than 6500. Will ESI and PF be applicable?
2. S/w dev firm
Total no: of employees is 21. Of this 1 is less than 6500 and 4 are drawing between 6500 and 10000 and the rest all above 10000. Should we register for ESI and PF?
Some points regarding this.
a) The rule says 20 for not using power. IT firms use power. So is the no: 10 applicable for both the firms (for ESI & PF)?
b) If 20 is the count then can I put 2-3 from the s/w to the IT training firm rolls and escape both ESI and PF registration for the time being?
c) I heard that some firms take a written declaration from the employees saying that they do not need both ESI and PF. Is that valid?
Thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Alex

For the 1st company as all employees are below 6500/-, both PF and ESIC will be applicable.
For the2nd company PF will be applicable for all employees, ESIC only to employees drawing 10,000/- and less. Employees drawing 10,001/- and above ESIC will not be applicable.

Hii Alex,
By rule for the first firm PF and ESIC are applicable.But as both the firms are yours definitely you can put some employees to the other firm and escape both.But be careful that accept resignation from the employees and then appoint them as afresh employee in other company.
As far as written declaration is concerned it not valid legally.Legally you need to have provisions for PF and ESIC for the employees who are having wage less than 6500

Hi Raj,
Thanks for getting back.
So for the 1st firm as it is less than 10 ESI is applicable and PF is not.
For the 2nd firm as it is more than 10 both PF & ESI is applicable but only for those who draw less than 10K.
Am I right?
For S/w development companies, is the count 10 or 20?

ESI is Not applicable to your both the firms.
With Power rule is for factories not for commercial Establishments.
So ESI is applicable to the establishments having 20 coverable employees under the act. So you dont have 20 coverable employees in both the organisations. For ESI present wage ceiling is Rs.10000/-

Hi,
If the wage/salary of an employee as working in a covered establishment and is covered under the Act even when his wage/salary exceeds Rs.6500 per month, then he will be entitled to remain covered upto Rs. 6500 per month. For instance, an employee who is a member and whose salary was Rs.6400 per month, he will continue to be a member for at least Rs.6500 per month even when his salary is increased as Rs.7000 per month. It the employer and employee both agree, there is no bar in enrolling such or any other employee as member under the Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme, 1952.

As per the ESI ACT
ESI Limit is Rs.10,000
Employees Strength for coverable Companies is : 10 for Companies that use power for Production etc, else 20 for Shops and Estts
1. Company One does not have the Required Number of amployees in any case , So you need not worry.
2. For Company Two you need to Consider the following
a. If the Development of the product is the Result of using any Equipment that uses power then the Emp Strength for covering ESI is 10 (I.e if you have a software product which you develop, Mostly this is the case in most soft dev companies) , Else its 20
b. Make a count of Employees drawing 10000 and below (Above 10001 need not be counted) (As per your Data you presently have only 5 or so employees) , If the count is below 10 You need not worry about ESI at all.
Note: If you have contract employees , Like Security etc , they also will be counted as long as they work in the Company premises.
@Nagaraj H V , See if the place where your employees are working are in the ESI Coverable area List , This list is avaliable at ESI local offices and reagional office. May be avaliable in the net too. If the area is not in the list then you need not pay ESI (Employees anyway dont get coverage)
Note: Also if the establishment is covered then you are not allowed to take a letter from Employee that He/She does not want ESI ,etc and not give befit, This facility is not provided in the ESI act contraty to whats suggested by some others in the forum

Dear Satyanarayana,
Thanks for the reply. I have got 2 points.
1. My auditor says that IT companies use power and so we will come under the "With power category" and so 10 will be the limit for ESI
2. He also says that there is no rule saying that employees who are drawing more than 10K need not pay PF.
Can you tell me if this is true?

Hi,

IF an person is covered under ESI Act 1948 Maternity benefits rules does not implies to employer and hence employer need not pay the maternity benfit salary.
ESI pays double the rate for 84 days on daily average salary basis as per form 5 data and additional one month more salary to IP in case of complication and additional rest prescribed by doctor subject to all certification provided by her.
I hope this shall fullfill your requirement

Hi

PF & ESI is Not applicable to Ist firm, there are less than 20 employees and also working without power.
For IInd firm, 1 employee is less than 6500, 4 employees is between 6500 to 10000 and others employes are getting more than 10000.
Here we will see, what are the basic+DA of all employees. If more than 10 employees's basic+DA is less than 6500 then it is required to cover under PF.
For ESI coverage - Here we will see if any washing allowance are giving to the employees and their salary without W.A. is less then 10000 and also total employees (counted more than 20 without power) or (counted more than 10 with power) then ESI registration is required otherwise not.

As per PF Act, for new coverage we need not enroll the employees who are drawing more than 6500/- . In the same line even for covered establishment if a employee joins on salary above 6500 need not be covered as per statute. Once the employee enrolled as member in the PF he should continue as a member even his salary crosses over 6500/- & his contributions can be limited upto 6500/- only. I am sure that the opinion given by the audior may not be correct.

Mr. Satyanarana,
Thanks for explaination, i was also looking for this clarity on applicability.
we are also an software organisatioin having 19 employees with 8 people drawing salary less than Rs. 10000/-
The ESI act says, the organisation will get covered if you are having more than10 employees and using power. As an sofware organisation we also use power for lighting and Computers.
My doubt is, what is the interpretation of the phrase with the use of power.
Second doubt is about the coverable empoyees, the act says the moment have 10 employees the company gets covered, the act does not mention that the applicability is based on number of coverable employees.
do you have any support material such as supreme court case laws to support your interpretation

Dear Kaleem
You are right , we cant see in act the concept of coverable employees. In the year 1997 Delhi High Court has given judgement in this regard and subsequently The Supreme Court of India commending the views of Delhi High Court in MM Suri & Associates VS ESIC 1999 and it was reported in LLJ. I dont have the judgement copy but I read it fully long back. If you can get the copy of the judgement pl send me the soft copy to my email id:
With Power was used in the act is meant for only facatories, so I am not sure this software industries will fall on this phrase or not. My personal opinion after studying the various factors software companies will come into the category of Establishments so for those organisations ESI will attract only if they have more that 20 coverable employees.

Dear Alex,
ESI Wage ceiling is upto 10,000. The employees who are drawing upto 10,000 er hasto register in ESIC pay the contributions accordingly.
For Provient Fund if any employee baisc exceeds 6,500/- then no need to continue the pf contributions. Ofcourse, that is the management decision whether they r willing to continue or not. But if basic is less than 6,500 employer to continue the pf deductions.

A.S.Chakradhar.
Hi,
We have got 2 firms (separate) and the employee details are as follows
1. IT Training firm
Total no: of employees is 8. Of this 7 are drawing less than 6500. Will ESI and PF be applicable?
2. S/w dev firm
Total no: of employees is 21. Of this 1 is less than 6500 and 4 are drawing between 6500 and 10000 and the rest all above 10000. Should we register for ESI and PF?
Some points regarding this.
a) The rule says 20 for not using power. IT firms use power. So is the no: 10 applicable for both the firms (for ESI & PF)?
b) If 20 is the count then can I put 2-3 from the s/w to the IT training firm rolls and escape both ESI and PF registration for the time being?
c) I heard that some firms take a written declaration from the employees saying that they do not need both ESI and PF. Is that valid?
Thanks in advance.

As far as ESI is concern you need total 20 employees drawing less than 10000 Gross Salary which is not there in your case hence ESI is not applicable you.
But in case of PF gets applicable if you have total 20 employees working in your organisation irrespective of their salaries. hence if you have 21 employees you get statutory covered under the PF act and you will need to apply for the PF Code Number.
Else transfer some employees to other comany and bring down your employee strenght to less than 20.

Hi,
Alex
ESI Rule for Registration:
1. Firm should have 10 employees drawing up to Rs. 10,000 if power is used in the Process.
2. Firm should have 20 employees drawing up to Rs. 10,000 if power is not used in the Process.
Since both your firms are not cinfirming to the above conditions ESI is not applicable. There is no provisition for voluntary coverage in ESI.
PF Rule for Registration:
1. Firm should have 20 employees for Registartion. Salary is not relevent. Only head count of employees is considered.
PF is not applicable to your IT training Firm ( Only 8 employees).
PF is applicable to your S/W dev. form (21 employees)
PF Act provides for voluntary Coverage also. If you wish to Register your IT Training Firm it is possible under voluntary coverage provisions.
You may also bear in mind that there are provisions in the PF act to club both the firms and treat as one unit and implement PF in both firms if in any way they are inter connected. i.e. Common Management. Inter changebility of employees, etc.
Other Points.:
Power: Power means power used in the process of development of products. ie. Manufacturing Process.-Factory. this is revelent only in case of ESI
As IT training division does not develop any products and only training persons, may not fall under the category of factory.
S/w. dev. firm is a factory. With ten Employees drawing upto Rs. 10,000/- will attrct ESI Coverage. as only 5 employees are drawing up to Rs. 10,000/- ESI is not applicable.
You may transfer employees from S/w dev. to IT trg. and escape coverage from both ie.e ESI and PF. But you should take care of the provisions regarding clubbing of the units.
Written declarations/conssent letters are use less and irrelevant. it does not help in any way.

ESI Rule for Registration:
1. Firm should have 10 employees drawing up to Rs. 10,000 if power is used in the Process.
2. Firm should have 20 employees drawing up to Rs. 10,000 if power is not used in the Process.
Since both your firms are not cinfirming to the above conditions ESI is not applicable. There is no provisition for voluntary coverage in ESI.
PF Rule for Registration:
1. Firm should have 20 employees for Registartion. Salary is not relevent. Only head count of employees is considered.
PF is not applicable to your IT training Firm ( Only 8 employees).
PF is applicable to your S/W dev. form (21 employees)
PF Act provides for voluntary Coverage also. If you wish to Register your IT Training Firm it is possible under voluntary coverage provisions.
You may also bear in mind that there are provisions in the PF act to club both the firms and treat as one unit and implement PF in both firms if in any way they are inter connected. i.e. Common Management. Inter changebility of employees, etc.
Other Points.:
Power: Power means power used in the process of development of products. ie. Manufacturing Process.-Factory. this is revelent only in case of ESI
As IT training division does not develop any products and only training persons, may not fall under the category of factory.
S/w. dev. firm is a factory. With ten Employees drawing upto Rs. 10,000/- will attrct ESI Coverage. as only 5 employees are drawing up to Rs. 10,000/- ESI is not applicable.
You may transfer employees from S/w dev. to IT trg. and escape coverage from both ie.e ESI and PF. But you should take care of the provisions regarding clubbing of the units.
Written declarations/conssent letters are use less and irrelevant. it does not help in any way.

Hi,
I have a firm who has 25 employees on its roll, working with different organisations for providing cleaning and pantry services on contract bases and drawing less than 6500 salary. Out of 25 employees 12 are deployed with an educational institute where ESI is said to be not applicable. So far I have got only EPF code for the said firm. Now rest of the 13 employees are to be covered under ESI Scheme. So, I require your valuable suggestion on this. Can I apply for ESIC code with same employees as minimum requirement is of 20 ? Eagerly awaiting for your reply.
Thanks & regards !

Dear Alex,
As per PF rules the first company is under second or vice versa like branch office , then the PF is applicable for both. Regarding ESIC those who are below 10000 necessary.

The ESI rules are as under:
The earned gross (Includes all earnings like incentive, bonus, special pay etc) should be less than or equal to 10,000.
Employee has to contribute 1.75% of earned gross deducted from net pay
Employer has to contribute 4.75% of earned gross of employee.
If ESI has been deducted in the month of April then it should continue
to be deducted till September irrespective of earned gross. In the month
of October if the earned gross is more than 10,000 then ESI should not
be deducted.
Ex: Employee A has got a gross earning of Rs. 9000 in the month of April
and so ESI is deducted. In the month of May his earning has increased to
11,000 ESI should be deducted thereafter also till September
irrespective of his earned gross. In the month of October his earned
gross is 12,000 then ESI should not be deducted
Therefore there is a two cycle period for deduction. April to September
and October to March:confused:
Hello Mr Balaji
1. PF is deducted 12% of your earned Basic

Hi everybody,
companies need to register for PF if they have more than 10 employees and if the employees Basic+DA is less than 6500 then minimum contribution from both employee and employer's end would be 12% of B+DA compulsorily.
If the B+DA is more than 6500 then both the Employee and Employer has the option of opting out of it, provided the employee has joined the organisation where the employees B+DA is greater than 6500 from the beginning of his employment.
If the B+DA is more than 6500 then employee has to pay 12% of his actual B+DA while the contribution from the employer's end can be restricted to Rs- 780/- or 12% of B+DA. listed above are the options that you can choose from.
As far as ESI is concerned employee is eligible for ESI if his gross salary is less than Rs- 10000/- and the company should register if they have more than 10 employees in this category.
Hope this clears your doubts

Hi,
I require a clarification regarding ESI and PF.
One query has to me that a proprietary concern(in construction field) having its shops and establishment in 2004-05, Vat registration the same year, but there is no registration done for ESI and PF.
As per their consultant, they say that "since the concern had contract labours till 2009-10 and only 10 staffs working for the proprietary concern, no need for registration of ESI and PF".
As per the act, if we have contract labours, the contractor has to pay ESI and PF otherwise it is the liability of the Employer only--- Please give me the explanation.
Also another consultant says that, we have to calculate the total contract labour + wages paid from 2004-05 to 2009-10 and we have to pay with penalty to ESI and PF office then only the concern will not be under trouble.
Could somebody explain about this with previous cases in the similar way.
Thanks and regards,

Dear Alex,
You need to be registered under epf and esic if your total employee including out sourced contractor employee working under the individual firm is more than 20.
EPF is also applicable to employee drawing a salary higher than 6500 or above if your firm is not deducting epf then get form 11 signed from the employee and keep for your records, How ever the company can be rigid on employer contribution on a basic of 6500 irespective of salary above 6500, Example if an employee's basic salary is 7000 and he is demanding epf then you are liable to give epf on the maximum of 6500 not on 7000' but remeber you must have form 11 dully signed by employee seeking exemption under PF other wise your liability exists, PF is not calculated on gross drawing, it is always calculated on basic salary and basic salary should not be below minimum wages of particular catogery of that state.
Liability of ESIC is on gross salary and if any employee is drawing gross salary above 15000PM then he is excempted
