Uploaded Wrong ECR Sheet for March 2021: How Can I Fix This and Ensure PF Payments?

On 22nd April 2021, I uploaded the ECR sheet for the wage month of March 2021 and generated a challan in the PF portal. I also made a payment on 30th April 2021. However, by mistake, the wrong sheet was uploaded for the wage month of March. Additionally, the payment was deducted from the company's bank account, but until now, employees have not received their PF amount for March.

Kindly provide me with a solution on how I can rectify the ECR sheet for the wage month of March 2021.
