Urgent Help Needed: How Do I Submit the Six-Monthly ESI Return Before the Deadline?

Dear Friends,

Could anyone provide information on the procedure and forms required for submitting the six-monthly return? Please send it urgently as the deadline is approaching.

Thank you.

My Dear Friends,

ES half-yearly return should be submitted to the Branch office / ES Regional Commissioner. There are two contribution periods in every year: April 1 to September 30 and October 1 to March 31.

ESI half-yearly return should be submitted for both periods to the Branch office / ESI Regional Commissioner on form no. 6 in triplicate along with ESI Challan. The last date for submitting ESI half-yearly return is May 11 and November 11.

Employers have to furnish details of employees' share and employer's share of contribution, including details of challans, on a six-monthly basis in Form No. 5 (previously numbered as Form No. 6). Form No. 5 is attached for your reference. The last date of submission is 12th May (for the contribution period of 1st Oct to 31st March) and 11th Nov (for the contribution period of 1st April to 30 Sept).

We have to submit it in triplicate - one for the ESIC Local Office, the second one for the ESIC Regional Office, and the third one for the ESIC Dispensary.

Dear Friend,

Please go through Form 5 to find the correct format, which should be maintained in Excel.

Hi all,

My company is facing a shortage of funds. We have been deducting the PF from employees but have not been able to make the payments. Now, we are looking to file the PF return for the employee contributions only. The remaining employer contribution will be paid at a later date. Could you please provide details on how to calculate and file for this?

Thank you.
