Documents required for PF and ESI registration

Every organization, at some stage, has to register for PF / ESI. In this post, we will discuss the list of documents required for PF and ESI registration.

Who is eligible for PF / ESI registration?

Registration for PF / ESI is compulsory for companies/organizations that employ more than 20 individuals. Also, small organizations which do not have the minimum strength can register themselves voluntarily. Organizations that grow to a strength of 20 members are expected to register themselves within one month of attaining the minimum strength. Also read:
