Published by: OurTaxPartner.com | ESI & EPF Filing Services
Introduction
Filing timely and accurate returns under the Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) and Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) Acts is a statutory obligation for Indian employers. Delays, errors, or missed filings can attract heavy penalties, interest, and legal consequences—which can severely affect your business reputation and finances.
At OurTaxPartner.com, we offer end-to-end hassle-free ESI and EPF return filing services that ensure full compliance, peace of mind, and zero penalties.
What Are ESI & EPF Returns?
Employers covered under ESI and EPF are required to submit periodic returns that contain employee contribution details, salary information, challan payments, and enrollment status. These returns serve as the official record for employee welfare benefits and are audited by authorities regularly.
EPF Monthly Return Filing
- Form: Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR)
- Due Date: On or before the 15th of every month
- Details Required: Employee UAN, wages, employer and employee contributions, and challan payment details
ESI Monthly Return Filing
- Form: Monthly Contribution Details through ESIC Portal
- Due Date: On or before the 15th of every month
- Details Required: IP number, gross wages, and contribution amounts
Annual Returns
- EPF: Form 3A and Form 6A (Annually)
- ESI: Annual information report detailing IPs covered and employer contribution summaries
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failing to file ESI and EPF returns on time or providing incorrect information can lead to the following:
- Penalty up to ₹5,000 per return for late submissions under ESI and EPF
- Interest on late payment of contributions (up to 12% per annum)
- Prosecution under the respective Acts, with possible imprisonment for repeat defaulters
- Loss of employee trust and legal scrutiny during labor inspections
Avoid these risks—let us manage your filings professionally.
