PF and ESI Return Filing
Monthly PF ECR and ESI contributions, filed and paid on time.
Reviewed by CA Hitendra Pal Singh· company law, tax and complianceLast reviewed
Once registered, an employer files the PF Electronic Challan-cum-Return every month and deposits both PF and ESI contributions by the 15th, with ESI’s half-yearly returns on top. The filings are simple; the cost of a missed month is interest, damages and a blocked employee withdrawal. We take the monthly cycle off your desk.

Common questions
We have eight employees — does ESI apply?
ESI applies from ten employees (twenty in some states) earning up to ₹21,000 a month; PF from twenty. Below the thresholds it is voluntary.
