EPF & ESI Complaint Escalation Process in India

Important Legal Context
EPF is mandatory for companies with 20+ employees.
ESIC is mandatory for establishments with 10+ employees for eligible salary brackets.

If a company deducts PF/ESI from salary but does not deposit it, it may amount to financial fraud and criminal breach of trust.

Portal: epfigms.gov.in

Use this for:

Use this if:

Employer failed to register you

You can also visit the nearest ESIC Branch Office and submit a written complaint.

Level 2: Labour Department & Samadhan Portal

Your complaint may be assigned to the Assistant Labour Commissioner (ALC).

Summon company officials

Conduct inspections

Recover unpaid dues

Order compliance with labour laws

Most companies settle matters at this stage to avoid prosecution and penalties.

Level 3: Criminal & Government Escalation
