Pf and esi query

This discussion addresses whether a company can deduct Provident Fund (PF) contributions without also deducting Employees' State Insurance (ESI) contributions. It clarifies that ESI is mandatory for factory or company employees earning less than £21,000, provided the company has 10 or more employees. The post also outlines the calculation methods for both PF and ESI, noting that both can be deducted simultaneously.
