PF and ESIC Registration & Filing in Lucknow

Providing social security to your employees is not just a legal requirement—it’s a commitment to their well-being and a hallmark of a professional organization. At BizDiscuss, we help Lucknow-based businesses manage Provident Fund (PF) and Employee State Insurance (ESIC) with zero stress.

From initial registration to monthly ECR filings and annual reconciliations, our team ensures your business stays 100% compliant with the latest 2025 labor regulations.

Employee Provident Fund (EPF) Registration

The EPF is a mandatory retirement saving scheme for all organizations in India reaching a certain scale. It builds employee loyalty by providing long-term financial security.

PF Applicability & Thresholds

  • Mandatory Registration: Required for all establishments employing 20 or more persons.
  • Voluntary Registration: Smaller businesses with fewer than 20 employees can opt-in voluntarily to provide benefits to their staff.
  • Salary Limit: It is mandatory for employees earning up to ₹15,000 per month (Basic + DA), though employees with higher salaries can also be enrolled.

Benefits of PF Registration

  • Retirement Corpus: A mix of employee and employer contributions that grows with compound interest.
  • Pension Benefits (EPS): Monthly pension for employees after retirement or in case of disability.
  • Insurance Cover (EDLI): Life insurance coverage for the employee at no extra cost to them.

Employee State Insurance (ESIC) Registration

ESIC is a multi-dimensional social security system that provides medical care and financial assistance to employees in case of sickness, maternity, or injury.

ESIC Coverage & Eligibility

  • Applicability: In Uttar Pradesh, registration is mandatory for most establishments with 10 or more employees.
  • Wage Ceiling: Employees earning a gross salary of up to ₹21,000 per month (₹25,000 for employees with disabilities) must be covered under ESIC.
  • Contribution Rates: As of 2025, the contribution is generally 0.75% for the employee and 3.25% for the employer.
