Why we picked it This is the one checklist that names the exact triggers, not just the list of registrations. It spells out EPF at 20+ employees, ESI at 10+ employees earning under 21,000 a month, Professional Tax as state-specific (Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal), plus Shops and Establishment, and pins the corporate deadlines that trip up first-time founders: auditor in 30 days, INC-20A in 180 days, share certificates in 60. Read it before your first hire, because the payroll registrations are the ones people forget.

Compliance Checklist After Company Registration in India

From MPVD & Associates (Chartered Accountants) by MPVD & Associates 12 min read

• PAN and TAN now arrive with incorporation, but the employee registrations (PF, ESI, PT) are separate and time-sensitive: PF kicks in at 20 employees, ESI at 10 earning under 21,000 a month.
• Professional Tax and Shops and Establishment are state-level, so your obligations differ by where you actually operate, not where you incorporated.
• Several statutory clocks start at incorporation independent of hiring: statutory auditor within 30 days, INC-20A within 180 days, share certificates within 60.
