Yes, a private limited company with 12 or more employees is required to register for the Employees' State Insurance (ESI) and the Provident Fund (PF) schemes. 
As for Professional Tax, it is a tax levied by state governments on individuals earning an income. The amount of tax and the threshold for tax liability vary from state to state.
