Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the timing for ESI, EPF, and Factory Act registration based on employee count. Registration is generally required in the same year employee numbers exceed the thresholds (7-25 for Factory Act, 10+ for ESI with salary <= £21k, 20+ for EPF with salary <= £15k). The thread also touches on voluntary EPF registration for smaller firms and its use for tender purposes, even with zero employees.

Yes... Registration required after the limit of number of employees.

Please note for  ESI is mandatory if the employee is having salary of less than or equal to 21000 and the establishment has 10 or more workers.

EPF is mandatory if the employee is having salary of less than or equal to 15,000 per month, it is mandatory for you to be opened an EPF account by your employer. Organizations with 20 or more employees are required by law to register for the EPF scheme, while those with fewer than 20 employees can also register voluntarily.

You required to register under Factory act need to take factory license and register under PF/ESIC/PT registartions.
