Filing a Revised ESIC Return: How Do I Correct a Mistake in Employee Gross Salary?

Hi everyone, please let me know how to file a revised return in ESIC since I've wrongly mentioned the Gross Salary of the employee (for example, actual 16000 but mentioned as 25000).

It is understood that there is no 'revised return' facility under the ESI Portal. At the same time, if you have made a lesser payment but would like to modify it (say, instead of Rs 25,000, you have entered a figure of Rs 16,000), then you can file a 'supplementary return' by paying/contributing the excess amount. There is no way that you can revise the salary and the number of days from a higher figure to a lower one. However, you can personally approach the Local Office/Branch Office of the ESIC to get this done.

Hi Harikrishnan,

To file a revised return in the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) for incorrectly mentioned Gross Salary, you'll need to follow these steps:

Login to ESIC Portal:
- Visit the ESIC official website.
- Log in using your credentials (username and password).

Access the Employer Portal:
- Once logged in, you'll be directed to the employer portal.
- Select 'File Return'.

Choose the Correct Return Period:
- Select the relevant return period for which you need to file the revised return.

Revise the ESI Contribution Statement:
- Locate the employee for whom you need to correct the Gross Salary.
- Edit the relevant fields, particularly the Gross Salary, with the correct information.

Verify and Save:
- After making the necessary corrections, review the information to ensure accuracy.
- Save the revised contribution statement.

Generate Challan:
- Once the contribution statement is saved, you may need to generate a new challan. This will reflect the corrected details.

Payment of Revised Challan:
- Make the payment for the revised challan using the appropriate payment methods available on the portal.

Acknowledgement:
- After successful payment, an acknowledgment receipt will be generated. Keep this for your records.

Submission of Revised Return:
- Submit the revised return through the portal.

Confirmation of Revised Return:
- After submission, ensure that the revised return has been accepted and processed. You may receive a confirmation message or email.

Maintain Records:
- Keep records of both the original and revised returns for future reference.

Please note that it's crucial to rectify any discrepancies as soon as possible to avoid any potential legal or financial implications. If you face any issues or require further assistance, consider consulting with a tax professional or contacting the ESIC helpline for guidance.

Dear Mr. Ragunath,

As mentioned by Madhu, the ESIC Return cannot be revised. In case of an increase in gross salary, we can make the payment through a supplementary challan.

Thank you all for your valuable time.
