No need for any documents from the employees for registration. Initially, you have to obtain voluntary registration for coverage from both ESI and EPF. After the coverage, you can collect some documents such as Form 11, Nomination forms, KYC Docs, etc., for ESI and EPF.

Sir, if a firm or factory is employing only 5 persons( as mentioned in subject head of this thread), then the same is not coverable under ESI Act, 1948. Coverage under said Act is not optional.

Harsh, I think voluntary coverage under ESIC is allowed for companies with less than 20 employees. Voluntary coverage for individual employees with salary above 15000 (Now 25000) is not allowed.

Dear Jaya,

Compliance with PF and ESIC comes with a headache and cost, both in terms of efforts and increased payroll costs. Neither of these acts applies to you at the moment. Most employees working for a startup don't care for them either. So why are you interested in registering for them?

Very true. If you do not fall under the category of compulsory PF, why invite troubles of statutory compliance and unnecessary troubles and harassment at the moment. Cross the bridge when it comes. Members can go for PPF or NPS voluntarily.

ESI is covered if the employee strength is 10 and above. It is not 20 and above. Till now, ESI is contributed only on ₹15,000/- (₹25,000/- is not yet implemented). Discussions are ongoing, and until now, there is no official government order.

Hi Bharathi ji,

Enrollment itself requires a lot of paperwork, documentation, and follow-up with concerned authorities. When you are in a startup company and have other urgent tasks to attend to, you can delay PF (Provident Fund) enrollment until it becomes mandatory.
