PF and ESI Return Filing: what you should know
Monthly cycle
Each month, you file the PF ECR and pay contributions, generally by the 15th of the following month, and pay ESI contributions on or before the 15th. Delay attracts interest and damages. Annual returns and reconciliation also apply where required.
Common errors
Employees missing in the file, wage mismatches against payroll, wrong UAN or ESIC number, and delayed deposits. We reconcile payroll against the statutory file before filing.
Exits and new joiners
Record the exit date of leavers and add joiners promptly so that transfers and withdrawal claims work for employees.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Late deposit
- Not recording exit dates
- Using wrong wage ceilings
