ESI and PF Registration for factory situated in different state

This discussion clarifies the rules for Employees' State Insurance (ESI) and Provident Fund (PF) registration when a factory is located in a different state from its head office. The key takeaway is that ESI and PF registration are centralised and unique, regardless of the physical location of the factory or head office. Eligibility criteria, such as the minimum number of staff required for registration (10 for ESI and 20 for PF), apply to the overall employee count.
