ESI Return is a half yearly return that every ESI-registered employer must file. The return for April-September must be filed by November 15, and for October-March by May 15. It contains employee-wise contribution details.
Late filing of ESI return attracts a penalty of ₹750 per day. Additionally, interest at 15% per annum is payable on late contribution deposits. Regular timely filing is strongly recommended.
We need the ESI Code Number, employee-wise contribution data for all 6 months of the half year, salary and attendance records, and the previous half year's return for reference.
Yes, ESI returns are filed online through the ESIC portal. The employer or authorized representative can log in, upload employee contribution data, and submit the return online.
If there are no employees or zero contributions in a half year, a Nil return must still be filed. Failure to file a Nil return can also attract penalties for non-compliance.
Employers must deposit ESI contributions (employee 0.75% + employer 3.25%) monthly through the ESIC portal using a challan generated online. The payment can be made via net banking or RTGS/NEFT. The due date is 15th of the following month.
Yes, ESI returns can be revised within the prescribed timeframe if there are errors in employee details, contribution amounts, or other data. We handle the revision process on the ESIC portal to ensure accurate compliance records.
ESI return is filed half-yearly on the ESIC portal for ESI contributions. PF return (ECR) is filed monthly on the EPFO portal for PF contributions. Both are separate compliance requirements with different due dates, forms, and portals.
