About the Services

What is PF & ESIC Compliance?

The Indian government created a law called the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act in 1996, which is commonly known as the BOCW Act. The main purpose of this law is to help protect unskilled laborers who work in harsh and difficult conditions.

Its goal is to make sure that these workers are treated fairly and have safe working conditions. The BOCW Act is a social welfare program designed to provide benefits to construction workers across the country. If you want to learn more about how to comply with the BOCW Act, our team of experts can help you out.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about PF & ESIC compliance in Maharashtra.

Any establishment employing 20 or more persons is mandatorily required to register under the EPF Act, 1952. This includes factories, commercial establishments, mines, plantations, and specified industries. Once registered, the threshold cannot be reduced. Some establishments below 20 employees can also voluntarily register. Certain industries have a lower threshold of 10 employees.
PF contributions must be paid by the 15th of the following month. Delays attract interest at 12% per annum and damages ranging from 5% (delay up to 2 months) to 25% (delay beyond 6 months) on the outstanding amount. Penal damages are calculated separately from the interest and can significantly increase your liability.
Yes. ESIC is applicable to all non-seasonal factories and establishments (including IT companies, BPOs, service sector) employing 10 or more persons, where the wages of employees are ₹21,000 per month or less. Employees earning above this ceiling are exempt from ESIC coverage but the employer still needs to maintain compliance registers and report accordingly.
An employee whose monthly basic wages exceed ₹15,000 at the time of joining is exempt from compulsory EPF membership, but they can voluntarily join the scheme. However, if the employee was previously a PF member and their salary increased above ₹15,000, they must continue contributing and cannot exit the scheme. The employer's mandatory contribution is on the ₹15,000 ceiling amount.
With MD Consultancy handling your registration, EPF registration typically takes 3–7 working days and ESIC registration takes 3–5 working days from the date of document submission. The process involves online submission on the Shram Suvidha Portal and ESIC portal respectively. Delays usually occur only if documents are incomplete or if there are technical issues at the department level.
Out of the total 24% contribution: Employee contributes 12% to PF. Employer contributes 12% split as: 8.33% to EPS (Employee Pension Scheme, capped at ₹1,250), 3.67% to EPF, and 0.5% to EDLI (Employee Deposit Linked Insurance). The employer also pays 0.5% towards EPFO administrative charges. The EDLI scheme provides life insurance benefit to nominees.
Yes, EPFO and ESIC have provisions for settlement of arrears and waiver/reduction of penalties in genuine hardship cases. With proper documentation and representation, penalties can be significantly reduced. MD Consultancy has successfully negotiated penalty waivers and structured payment plans for many clients. Early voluntary disclosure generally receives more favorable treatment than cases discovered during inspections.
Yes. Contract workers working at your establishment through a contractor or labour supplier are also covered under the principal employer's EPF/ESIC obligations. The principal employer is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the contractor has registered and is making statutory contributions for the contract workers. Failure of the contractor does not absolve the principal employer of liability.
