Please see the attachment EPFO - E - SEWA PORTAL on how to generate ECR Challan online and how to submit the returns, etc. Also, note that in the early days, the PF annual returns were submitted, but now onwards, monthly returns must be submitted.

An attached user manual is included. For those who know the Telugu language, a Telugu version is attached for easy understanding.

That is not the valid format you should upload for the new ECR. The link below and the sublinks on that page provide instructions on how to create an ECR. There have been numerous discussions regarding the new ECR format, which were discussed by me and others.

Thank you so much for the reply. I have uploaded the total data, but only the last four lines show errors, which pertain to the new joiners for the month of March. Could you help out because my SBI bank does not accept manual challan?

Confusion Regarding PF Annual Returns Submission for 2011-2012

I have one confusion regarding PF annual returns submission for 2011-2012. Can I submit the return in Excel format like my previous years, i.e., Form 3A, 6A in Excel format? If not, then what is the procedure to fill it?

Kindly help me before the last date of return submission, i.e., 30th April.

Thanks & Regards,

Rahul Rana

I have a problem with my PF. Can anybody help? Is there someone working in the PF office in Hyderabad?

I would like to inquire about EPF returns. How can I maintain online EPF returns? Please provide me with the EPF return form urgently and explain in detail how to submit the return.

Thank you and regards,

Thank you for your information. I have tried to check the balance as per your direction, but it says "No Data Available." Can you please help me to check the PF Balance in Maharashtra?

Thank you very much for the detailed information. It is well-documented and provides clarity. I wanted to share one of the practical problems faced by many companies to see if there are any options available:

1. Companies process payroll before the 25th of every month to ensure that the salary is credited before the 30th/31st of the month.

2. For this, the cut-off for new joiners is mostly set up to the 20th of the month or the latest by the 25th.

3. New joiners after this cut-off date are processed during the next month's payroll.

4. As per the current requirement of the e-Seva portal, the start date of the employee is not accepted if it falls in the previous month.

5. For example, if an employee joins the company on the 25th of April, and their first payroll is processed in May 2012, the PF contributions for both April and May would be during May.

6. While uploading the information of the new joiner in May, the system does not accept the Date of Joining as 25th April.

I was exploring some options available for this type of contribution scenario.

Thanks,

Showri

Dear Mr. Kumar, How can one rectify a mistake in the case of a wrong entry of the date of joining and the date of leaving if the challan has already been uploaded and acknowledgment received? Can it be rectified next month? I would be grateful if you could clarify the above.

With regards,

Free Online Excel to ECR Converter

Dear Members, we have developed a free online Excel to ECR converter on our website hredp.com. I have also attached an Excel file for the preparation of the Provident Fund register, which will be converted to a PF ECR file. Just give it a try.

I hope they have the same information in other languages too. By the way, your attachment has helped me understand the submission guidelines in a proper way.

We have been using eSewa since March 31, but have not printed the acknowledgment receipt slips. The only acknowledgment slips visible now are for the last two months. Kindly advise me on what I need to do to print slips for the prior months, namely May and June.

Regards,
Anu

Dear All, now attached herewith is Form 9 eSewa Format.

I have tried to open the Employer e-Sewa to make a challan for the month of January 2015. I entered my User ID and password as usual, but then I was asked to change my password. After changing it, both the old and new passwords are being shown as incorrect.

Please assist me in accessing the site to complete the challan. Since I have lost my registered primary mobile number, kindly send the password to my email address.

My user ID is: 2.ALLIEDSERVICE
My Establishment Code: TBVLR0074988000

Thank you.

Respected sir,

I'm from Rajasthan and new to EPFO. I have an ID and password, but I don't know how to use it. I downloaded the PDF, but it does not match with the employer e-seva portal. Please help me with how to submit PF.

Thank you.

How to reimburse EPF employer contribution?

To reimburse the EPF employer contribution, you may need to follow the procedures outlined by the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). Generally, employers are required to contribute a certain percentage of their employees' salaries to the EPF scheme. If you need to reimburse any employer contributions, it's advisable to contact the EPFO or refer to their guidelines for the specific steps to take. Make sure to keep accurate records and documentation of the reimbursement process for compliance and audit purposes.
