This is a mandatory attachment although the applicant has an option of not selecting any service and register his company without GSTIN, EPFO and ESIC.
Exemption to E-form AGILE
E-form Agile has been made mandatory for companies that are seeking registration through online medium. The form provides services of registering for services such as GSTIN and EPFO and ESIC, but there is a certain exception that is applicable for each of the services where the companies can opt out of registering themselves if they do not fall into following criteria:
Applicability of ESIC
ESIC provides for medical attention of the employees that are registered under the ESI Act,1948. The registration is applicable for all factories and other establishments such as restaurants and other establishments that have 10 or more persons employed and with a monthly wage that does not exceed Rs. 21,000.
Section 2(12) of the act provides for the same and section 1(5) of the act extends the same to restaurants, cinemas and some other establishments as well where the number of employees is 10 and 20 in certain states and UT’s.
If the number of employees exceeds 20 or 10 (as provided in the state) the employee’s salary wouldn’t matter.
Note: The threshold for factories and establishment in Maharashtra and Chandigarh is 20 employees.
And, hence if the companies or establishment do not complete the following requirement, they do not have to obtain registration under the AGILE form as well. While filing the form, the companies have the option to deselect the service they don’t require or the service they do not wish to take at that time.
Applicability of GSTIN
Applicability of GSTIN will be valid only if the company registering is involved in any kind of E-commerce business and if the company wants to conduct business in more than one state. The companies that do not have a turnover of Rs 60 lakh have an option of leaving themselves out of such registration, but if their turnover exceeds anytime the mark of 60 lakh, they will have to obtain GSTIN number to operate in India.
Applicability of EPFO
EPF registration is mandatory for all establishments that have
- Any factory that is engaged in an industry that has 20 or more persons
- To any other establishment that is notified by the central government, even if the employed people are less than 20.

I realized more new stuff on this weight loss issue. A single issue is that good nutrition is tremendously vital any time dieting. A huge reduction in bad foods, sugary meals, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and whitened flour products could be necessary. Having wastes parasites, and toxins may prevent targets for losing weight. While specified drugs in the short term solve the situation, the nasty side effects aren’t worth it, and in addition they never supply more than a momentary solution. It’s a known idea that 95 of diet plans fail. Thanks for sharing your opinions on this blog.

Lots of people do get the notice that they have been officially dropped by their own insurance company they have to struggle to get supplemental insurance after a cancellation. Inexpensive auto insurance rates are frequently hard to get from cancellation. Having the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance canceling can help drivers prevent getting rid of in one of the most vital privileges available. Thanks for the ideas shared via your blog.
