ESI and PF Filings in India
ESI and PF filings are mandatory statutory compliance requirements for employers operating in India. These filings ensure that employee welfare contributions are accurately calculated, deposited, and reported in accordance with the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 and the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.
i Tax GST Filing supports businesses by managing monthly and annual ESI and PF filings with accuracy and timeliness, helping employers remain compliant and avoid regulatory penalties.
What Are ESI & PF Returns?
ESI returns involve the periodic submission of contribution details and employee information to the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation. These filings enable employees to access benefits such as medical care, maternity benefits, disability coverage, and sickness compensation.
PF returns relate to the reporting of provident fund contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation. Since provident fund contributions support long-term employee savings and retirement security, accurate PF filing is essential for both employers and employees.
