Struggling with PF and ESI Return Filing? Need Help with Vendor Documents!

We have registered with EPFO and ESIC since January 2012. We are a new company, and I have no proper idea about filing the returns of PF and ESI. We are paying the monthly contribution through e-sewa (PF) and electronic challans (ESI).

Now, our vendors are asking for documents related to PF and ESI return filing. Can anyone help me regarding this?

ESI and PF Return Filing Information

No need to file an ESI Half-yearly Return. The ESI Return is readily available on the ESI site; you can download it from there, and there is no need to submit any Half-yearly Return to ESI Authorities.

PF Annual and Monthly Returns

Regarding the PF annual return, it is also available on the EPF site. Kindly check at your end. However, the monthly PF Return has to be prepared, and filing the monthly return is not mandatory for PF Authorities.

Please find enclosed the file and further suggest to me. I would also like to know how I can withdraw my pension fund. Could you please assist in drafting a letter to EPFO or guide me on how to fill out the 10C form?

Thank you.

Regards.

We are a manufacturing unit, and the number of employees has just crossed 20.

EPF Liability for the Company

For working out EPF liability for the company, we would like to know the following:

1. From whom should we deduct PF out of the following categories:

Category a: Employee CTC up to 30,000/- per month (Basic up to 15,000/- (50% of CTC) + Allowances up to 15,000/-)

Category b: Employee CTC 32,000/- onwards per month (Basic 16,000/- onwards + Allowances 16,000/- onwards)

To the best of our knowledge, we need to deduct EPF from Category a alone, and for Category b, it is optional for the employer.

Request your advice...
