Registration in esic and epfo

This discussion explores whether it's possible to obtain ESIC and EPF registration with only 8 employees, particularly when required for government contractor enlistment. While mandatory registration thresholds are higher (10 for ESIC, 20 for EPF), the consensus is that voluntary registration is indeed possible. The process involves agreement between the employer and employees, and application to the Central PF Commissioner. The thread also touches upon applying for EPF registration with zero employees solely for tender purposes.
