Annual Return Filing for PF and ESIC

Is it still required to file the Annual Return of PF and ESIC even after submitting monthly returns through the online procedure?

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, even though you are submitting monthly returns online, it is still necessary to file the Annual Return of PF and ESIC as mandated. The submission of monthly returns does not exempt you from the requirement of filing the Annual Return. It is an essential compliance obligation that must be fulfilled to maintain adherence to the regulations. If you have any further questions or need assistance with the filing process, please feel free to reach out.

Hi, now online is the only process for filing PF & ESIC returns. There is no manual process. Refer to the PF & ESIC websites for more details.
