epf contributions norms for anestablishment which do not have employees but in operation.

bijay_majumdar
Dear respected Members,
I have a query regarding the establishment which earlier had employees more than 10 and was contributing to epf.
As presently he lost his contracts and does not have any employee on board to pay the contribution to epf.
however establishment continues to be in operation.
Seeking guidance towards what and how epf procedure of filing contributions be continued further.
Is there any declaration to be given to epf authourity.
Does the employer have to pay for admin charges?If so how it is to be done on line.
Similar is the case with esic.
Members Request Pls Guide.

Dear member,
If the establishment continues (functional) and even if there is no contributory member, than the establishment has to deposit Rs. 500.00 per month towards PF Admin charges.
In the PF challan you can show Nil Member and Nil wages for PF, EPS and EDLI, but have to deposit Rs. 500.00.
However, if the establishment comes under preview of “Non-Functional” than Rs. 75.00 needed as PF Admin charges.
Pls find attached latest PF Notification which is applicable wef Jun'18.

Dear Mr Bijay, i Presume you have no Employee on your rolls covered under ESI.However, you have to file Nil Returns on monthly basis.Consequently, the question of remittance of ESI Contributions does not arise.The procedure is similar to Filing Monthly Contributions in Online. By doing this, at a later stage, ESI Dept will not question you for Non Remittance of contributions
Regarding PF, You need not file ECR.You have to log in to ECR Portal & go to Generate Challan directly option.If you do not have any Employee on Roll covered under EPF, You have to remit Rs75/- towards A/C # 2. A/C # 22-Nil
Though, your Establishment is Functional, sonce at the moment you do not have EPF Covered Employee, you fall under the category of Non Functional Establishment.
The moment you have even 1 Employee coming under EPF, you have to remit Rs500/- towards A/C # 2 AS ALREADY MENTIONED BY Mr Pan Singh.Similarly you have to remit actual ESI Contribution

beforehand you have to make exit all employees and pay 75/- per month as admin charges
if any employee remain in muster roll with zero working days the employer has to submit ECR of existing employees, with whole month days as NCP and pay 500/- as admin charges
