ESI Payment Confusion: How Do I Handle Interest or Damages for Late Cheque Clearing?

Kindly tell me how to process under the ESI Act for interest or damages. We are depositing the payment by cheque dated 19/07/2011 and have received acknowledgment. However, the clearing date is 23/07/2011. How should we pay the ESI department for damages or interest?

Please log in to your employer's ESIC Challan. Click on Recovery/Defaulter Challan, then Defaulter List, and proceed to Generate Challan if any amount is showing in respect of Damage or Interest (C-18 & D-18). Kindly check once more if any amount is pending.

Thank you,

Regards,

Dear expert,

I have received a C-18 (Interest) notice from ESIC. How do I remit this interest on delayed payment? ESIC login is already showing 188/-rs, but the notice received is for rs-526/-. Could you please guide me on how to remit this amount?
