What this covers
ESI contributions are filed monthly on the ESIC portal and paid by the 15th. Contribution periods run April–September and October–March, and the return for each period has to tie back to the monthly filings.
The recurring problems are predictable: an employee crossing the wage limit mid-period, an insurance number never generated for a new joiner, wrong number of days for someone on leave without pay, or an exit that was never marked.
We prepare the monthly contribution file from your salary register, reconcile it, generate the challan, file it and keep the half-yearly position clean so nothing surfaces at inspection time.
Dates, rates and penalties
Monthly, filed before the 15th — with the filing, the follow-up and the acknowledgement handled for you.
How we handle it
Monthly filing on a fixed cycle
Register in by an agreed date, challan out well before the 15th. We chase inputs; you approve numbers.
Wage-limit tracking
Employees crossing ₹21,000 are carried correctly to the end of the contribution period instead of being dropped mid-way.
New joiners enrolled
Insurance numbers generated and family details captured in the same month the employee joins.
Half-yearly return closed properly
Each contribution period is reconciled with the monthly challans so the return matches your books.
Inspection-ready records
Wage registers, challans and returns are kept in one place, in the format an ESI inspector asks for.
