Published by: OurTaxPartner.com | ESI & EPF Registration Services
Introduction
For India’s fast-growing startup ecosystem and MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), complying with statutory labor laws such as Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) and Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) can seem both complex and costly. Yet, these registrations and ongoing compliance requirements are not only mandatory but also vital for employee welfare and brand trust.
At OurTaxPartner.com, we specialize in offering affordable ESI and EPF compliance services that are tailor-made for startups and MSMEs — without the burden of hiring a full-time HR or legal team.
Why Startups and MSMEs Must Prioritize ESI & EPF Compliance
- Legal Requirement: EPF is mandatory for companies with 20 or more employees; ESI is mandatory for those with 10 or more (in some states, 20).
- Employee Welfare: These schemes offer health, medical, maternity, and retirement benefits, helping attract and retain talent.
- Brand Credibility: Investors, partners, and customers increasingly value companies that comply with social welfare obligations.
- Avoid Penalties: Non-compliance can result in fines, legal prosecution, and interest on unpaid dues.
