We file PF and ESI for schools, every month.
PF and ESI cover teachers and non-teaching staff alike. CBSE also asks its schools to follow these rules. We add your staff to PF and ESI if the rules cover them, and keep your records ready.

How PF and ESI apply to your staff
PF (Provident Fund, also called EPF) applies once you have 20 or more employees. ESI (Employees' State Insurance) applies once you have 10 or more. A private school follows the same rules as any other business.
CBSE
CBSE schools
CBSE's rules ask its schools to follow PF, ESI and labour laws for their staff. It can come up when you apply for affiliation or renew it.
All staff
Teaching and non-teaching staff
Both count, and both are covered once PF and ESI apply. That includes drivers, helpers, cleaners, security and office staff. Non-teaching staff often earn ₹21,000 a month or less in ESI wages, so they must be in ESI.
Part-time
Part-time and temporary staff
Regular part-time and temporary staff can be covered too. Call us to check your staff.
When staff don't want to join
In schools, staff often ask to skip PF or ESI. If the law covers them, they must join.
Tell them what they get. PF builds savings for later, a pension and life insurance. ESI gives them and their family free medical care, and cash help when they are sick or on maternity leave.

What we do for you
You send us salary details. We do the PF and ESI work.
- We register your school for PF and ESI, if it isn't registered yet.
- We add teachers and staff to PF and ESI, if the rules cover them. Staff who already have a UAN (a PF account number for life) keep it. Others get one by a face scan on the UMANG app (the government's mobile app). We guide them. Staff who already have an IP number (their ESI number) keep it. We create one for the others.
- Each month, we file your PF and ESI returns (the monthly list of each employee's wages and the PF or ESI on them, sent to the PF and ESI offices), and mark the date when staff leave. We email you the challans (the payment slips). Pay them by the 15th of the next month, or send us the amount and we pay it.
- We keep your PF and ESI records ready for CBSE and for inspections.
- We help your staff with their PF and ESI details.
- Already filing PF and ESI yourself? We take over once you share the documents we need.
We work with schools in Mangalore and Bangalore. No office visits needed. We work by phone and email.
We never miss a PF or ESI due date.
