How to Handle ESIC Payments When the RC Submission Deadline Has Passed?

How to create a challan and make a payment for the period ended on Mar 19

How can one create a challan and make a payment for the period ended on March 19 and prior to that, especially if the due date for RC submission has passed?

Payment options when a challan cannot be created

If a challan cannot be created, how can payment for that period be made? On the portal, no option seems to be available for making such a payment.

ESI Issuance of C-19 or C-18 Notices

ESI will issue C-19 or C-18 on an ad-hoc basis. Thereafter, there is an option on the portal. But how will one make the payment before receiving any such notice from ESIC?

Notice on ESIC Portal for Recovery/Defaulter Challan

The notice will be communicated to the employer and will display on the ESIC portal under Recovery/Defaulter challan (line 12 of the last column) after login. After clicking there, the employer can pay the same.

Challan Payment on the Portal

The Challan on the portal in the "Recovery/Defaulter Challan" tab will be on an ad hoc basis and after notice from ESI. If one wants to pay prior to any notice and on an actual basis, what should they do? Even if they receive a notice but want to pay on an actual basis only, what should they do?

Procedure for Filing Belated Contributions

Department issues C-19 or D18 on an average basis in comparison to the last 6 months' contribution. After a 45-day lapse, there is no online procedure to file the belated contributions. However, if the establishment feels the need to do so, they can write to the Regional Director ESIC with actual facts and request to open the portal for a specific period. Upon scrutiny of the facts, if they find them to be correct, they may allow it and would intimate the employer to file within the period as may be fixed by them.
