Dear Sudesh,

I am sure, you are into manpower supply business and interested in developing your business. Even if your strength is less than 20 now, it will grow which will call for registration under the EPF & MP Act, ESI Act, etc.

I would suggest that you may approach the EPFO, collect the required forms, fill up and submit alongwith all supporting documents. It may take sometime for the EPFO to verify your establishment identity, credibility, etc. before allotting the EPF Code Number. However, wherever you have to quote for the EPF Code, you may indicate status of your application for EPF code with proof. The clients would consider your tenders subject to production of proof. In case you could develop your business which calls for immediate registration, you may approach the RPFC/APFC for expeditious allotment. I do not think you may require anyone's help for getting the registration. However, compliance of the provisions of the EPF & MP Act is to be done religiously for which you may require help of professionals or specific knowledgeable employees.

With best wishes,
