ESI & PF Return Filings
📌 What are ESI & PF Returns?
- Employee State Insurance (ESI) Returns:
ESI is a social security scheme under the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 that provides medical, sickness, maternity, and disability benefits to employees. Employers are required to contribute a specified percentage of wages for employees earning up to ₹21,000 per month (as per ESI Act, 1948, Section 2 & 46) and file periodic ESI returns with the ESI Corporation. - Provident Fund (PF) Returns:
Provident Fund is a retirement savings scheme governed by the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, and its EPF Scheme, 1952. Employers must deduct contributions from employee salaries and contribute their share, filing periodic returns with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) under Section 6 & 7 of the EPF Act.
Timely filing ensures compliance with statutory obligations, avoids penalties under ESI Act Section 46(4) and EPF Act Section 14B, and maintains smooth employee benefit administration.
