Please find attached the ESI and PF returns.

It's not a full return file. 3A, 6A, Reconciliation & 12A are required for the PF return.

Hi, I am new to this site, but there is a lot to learn here. Could you please post the percentage of ESI deduction? Also, I am certain that not all employees will fall under ESI. So, up to what salary level do you calculate ESI, and for those who are not covered, what other medical benefits are available in the market?

Thanks & Regards,

As per the E.S.I. Act of 1948, there are two percentages:
- From the employee: 1.75%
- From the employer: 4.75%

The ceiling limit is Rs. 15,000/- salary per month.

Regarding other benefits, it depends upon the company policies, but it is not mandatory.
