Filing NIL Returns with Zero Employees: Is the ShramSuvidha Portal Also Required?

KrishnaPG@Yahoo.com
We have zero employees, and we file NIL returns monthly on EPFO and ESIC websites. Is it mandatory to file a NIL annual return on the ShramSuvidha portal as well?

Hi, how can the organization function with zero employees? Who is executing the work, and how is profit achieved without any employees? You have registered with PF/ESI based on the eligibility criteria as stipulated by the EPF/ESI Act. After registration, once you are covered, even when there is a reduction in manpower, you are liable to deduct both ESI and PF. But your statement 'we have zero employees' is not making sense.
