**EPF (Employee Provident Fund)** and **ESIC (Employees' State Insurance Corporation)** are vital social security schemes for Indian employees. Contribution and compliance become mandatory for companies once they reach a specific employee threshold.
**EPF** is generally mandatory for companies with **20 or more employees**, while **ESIC** is mandatory for companies with **10 or more employees** (or 20+ in some states) whose gross wage does not exceed a statutory limit. These returns and deposits are due monthly, with severe penalties for delay.
