I am new to this forum. I have downloaded the E-Return tool from the EPFO website and have created data for my establishment. I have also entered monthly wage details for March 12. However, I don't know how to generate ECR to upload on the website. Can anyone help me with generating ECR using this tool? I can't find any export button; there are only import buttons and no export buttons.

Please help me.

There is no provision for generating an ECR text file in version 3.0 of the E-Return tool. If you have version 4.0, there is a provision for the same.

Generating ECR Text File in Version 4.0

In the main menu of version 4.0, under "GENERATE RETURNS FOR SUBMISSION TO EPFO," you have the option to generate an ECR text file for uploading in the Employer e-Sewa (online upload of ECR data). Please note that, apart from wage data, you have to input employee exit and entry details in the E-Return tool before proceeding.

Hope you could carry on. Happy working!!!!!

Using the E-Return Tool for Employee Data Management

It's better to use the e-return tool for all your activities. Regularly update employees' details, such as Date of Joining (DOJ) for new employees, exit date for those who have left, wage changes, etc., in the e-return tool v.4.0 for ECR file creation and other reports.

Dear Sir, I am using the E-Return tool 4.0. I am facing some issues as follows:

(My system configuration is Intel Dual Core, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD & OS – Windows 7 Professional)

1. In the report for employers: there is no report format for currently active members in the organization.

2. How to back up (or transfer the data to another computer) our establishment's data.

App_Code folder (Bakup.mdb, est.mdb, form3a.mdb, ret.mdb)

The data (establishment details, employee personal & monthly data) in the above .mdb files can only be displayed when these .mdb files are in this path: C:\program file\EPFO\App_code

For backup of App_Code folder (Bakup.mdb, est.mdb, form3a.mdb, ret.mdb)

I tried to copy the App_Code folder (Bakup.mdb, est.mdb, form3a.mdb, ret.mdb) to my desktop/another computer's desktop/C:\program file\EPFO\App_code, but then there is no data available in the above .mdb files.

I also opened the password-protected files (Bakup.mdb & ret.mdb), but there is no data available.

So please let me know, if my computer has any kind of HDD problem and I want to transfer the data to another computer for the E-Return tool, how to back up the App_Code folder with all data.
