Hi Ruchika..
Here is the details that you asked over citehr.
The formalities for ESI is you must have a strength of 20 employees, no matter whether they are getting salary more than 10000/- or lesser. As maxcimum ceiling of ESI contribution is upto 10000/- Gross/Month only. Those getting 10001/- will be exempted from the ESI.
Yes ESI and ESIC is same. ESIC stands for Employee State Insurance Corporation..
The Employer should get the Factory or Establishment registered with the ESI Corporation within 15 days of the applicability of ESI Act. The declaration of registration is to be filled in form 01, along with a separate sheet containing the name and address of the Establishment, number of employees, nature of duty and name, designation and address of the manager controlling such persons, in respect of office situated outside. After been satisfied with the application the ESI regional office will allot a code number to the employer.
After that only you can register your employees with the ESI. They have to fill up a declaration form FORM 1, written clearly Male or Female. All the declaration forms should be counter signed by the employer.
Then prepare a return of declaration in form 3 separate for Male & Female within 10 days of filling of declaration form.
Then every employee shall be alloted an temporary identification number.
For PF formalities the company must be 3 years old. After that only it can be registered with the PF department. Even for this Act also the minimum number of employee should be 20.
Every employer of an establishment to which the Employee Provident Fund Act applies, should submit in Form 5A(in duplicate) to the commissioner, particulars of all the branches and departments, owners, directors, partners if any or any other person who is controlling its affair within 15 days of its applicability of the scheme.
On receipt of Form 5A, the commissioner shall verify the particulars submitted and after been satisfied shall allot an Establishment Code No.
Hope now it will be very much clear with you.

Hi Ruchika
A brief note on PF, Hope you find it informative
Provident Fund is regulated by Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. It applies factories or to such establishments as may be notified by the Central Government, which are employing 20 or more persons.
The expression “Employee” has been defined under Section 2(f) of the EPF Act to mean any person who is employed for wages in any kind of work, manual or otherwise, in or in connection with the work of an establishment and who gets his wages directly or indirectly from the employer and includes any person employed by or through a contractor in or in connection with the work of the establishment and an apprentice (except apprentice under the Apprentices Act, 1961 or under the Standing Orders of the establishment).
Wages - For the purposes of deduction of contribution, wages would include Basic Wages, Dearness Allowance, Cash Value of any Food Concession and Retaining Allowance, if any.
Contribution - Contribution is required to be paid in respect of employees, whose basic wages, dearness allowance, cash value of food concession and retaining allowance does not exceed Rs. 6,500/- per month. For employees, who are already covered under the Scheme and cross this limits, the contribution is payable limited to Rs. 6,500/- per month.
The amount of contribution is 12% by the employer and 12% by the employee. It is the duty of the employer to deduct the employees’ contribution from his wages and deposit with the P.F. Authorities on or before 15th of the succeeding month. If the employer commits default, he is prohibited from recovering employees’ contribution from his future wages and the liability has to be borne by the employer.
In addition to the said contributions, employer is also required to pay administrative charges @ 1.10 of the employees’ wages subject to limit of Rs. 5/- every month, for the administration of Provident Fund, and @ 0.01% of the employees wages subject to a minimum of Rs. 2% every month for administration of Deposit Linked Insurance Fund.

If an employee wants to deposit more than the statutory limit in his P.F. Account, he can do so and he may authorize the employer in writing. The Additional contribution by an employee is restricted to 8% of his wages eligible for P. F. Contributions.
Penalties - Provisions for penalties is made in Sections 14, 14A and 14AA of the EPF Act. In nutshell the following are punishable :-

Hi Amit,

"For PF formalities the company must be 3 years old. After that only it can be registered with the PF department. Even for this Act also the minimum number of employee should be 20".
Refereing to your above lines what is the total employee strength is above 20 from day, according to me it should be covered under PF from the start only. Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi Amith,
After an amendment in the previous PF Act,
Now onwards, whenever the employee strength reaches of 20, it should be registered with PF Act.
So now entry criteria is almost same with ESI Act for PF Act also..
