1. In case none of the employees in a company have salary 21k or below but the count is above 10 and company got ESI registration at the time of incorporation, does it still have to add those employees on ESI portal and generate IP? Or the nil contribution filing to be done without adding the employees? 2. Registration done in 2021, so do the returns for that period till date needs to be filed? Can it be done? No coverable employees i.e. with salary below 21k at any point of time.

No need to file any return. There is no option to cancel PF and ESIC registration Online. You need to visit the nearest PF office where you obtained registration. PF and the ESIC registration can be cancelled but only it can be surrendered for its permanent closure.
