Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the ESI and PF registration requirements for private limited companies. It confirms that companies with 10 or more employees need to register for these schemes. Additionally, it explains that Professional Tax is levied by state governments, and employers are responsible for deducting and depositing this tax on behalf of their employees, advising to check local regulations.

Yes, a private limited company with 12 or more employees is required to register for the Employees' State Insurance (ESI) and the Provident Fund (PF) schemes. 
As for Professional Tax, it is a tax levied by state governments on individuals earning an income. The amount of tax and the threshold for tax liability vary from state to state. Employers are responsible for deducting and depositing professional tax on behalf of their employees to the state government.
