monthly esi return filing in india

The monthly ESI return must be filed online on the ESIC (Employees’ State Insurance Corporation) portal using the employer’s login credentials. The due date for filing the monthly ESI return is the 15th day of the following month. For example, the return for the month of January is due on February 15th.

Here are the steps involved in monthly ESI return filing:

• Log in to the ESIC portal using the employer’s credentials.
• Select the “File Monthly Contribution” option.
• Enter the details of the employees who have joined or left during the month.
• Enter the details of the contributions made by the employer and the employee towards the ESI fund for the month.
• Verify the details and submit the return.
• Pay the contributions online using the payment gateway provided on the portal.
• The ESIC verifies the details provided in the ESI return and updates the ESI account of the employees accordingly. Non-compliance with ESI return filing may result in penalties and legal action, which can be avoided by fulfilling the compliance requirements related to ESI return filing.

Employers should ensure that they file the ESI returns on time and accurately to avoid any penalties and to ensure that their employees’ ESI accounts are updated in a timely manner. It is also important for employers to keep their employees informed about their ESI contributions and the status of their ESI accounts.
