Yes, once you employ 20 or more people. Coverage under the Code on Social Security, 2020 is mandatory for establishments in scheduled industries with 20 or more employees. Establishments below that threshold may register voluntarily, and many Bangalore startups do so early – to offer PF from day one, and to avoid a disruptive mid-year transition when hiring accelerates.
Coverage applies to the establishment, not to individual employees. Once you are covered, you stay covered even if the headcount later drops below 20.
