Well . its a good question.

Under the PF Act proprietor is not deferrent from employer.
Please let me know the total contractual period of these 17 employees first.

For the 17 employees its a Fixed Term Contract for 1year (mentioned in the appointment letter itself) & the salary range is from 4500 to 9000...regarding the rest 14 i guess since their range is above 10k basic so it should not matter

Thank you Sir for the inputs.....As I understand PF is mandatory if employee numbers are 20 or more, irrespective of whether if they are in Contract, FTC (Fixed Term Contract) or employees. So therefore depending on the salaries PF & ESIC comes into force.

Dear,
There is a clause in PF act. It says that (under sec 56b) act is not applicable to any other establishment newly set up until the expiry of a period of three years form the date on which such establishment is, or has been, set up.

Hello Mr Medavarapu, Is this true?....Our company is into 2yr of operations so shall we wait for the completion of 3yrs & then go ahead with PF & ESIC?

According to rule if basic is more than 6500 than PF is not compulsary and the ceiling gross salary for ESI is 10,000
