Dear sirs/Madams,
Can anybody please send an Excel sheet for ECR, which was introduced by the EPF office just one week ago? The sheet should contain 11 columns instead of 26 columns. Additionally, in the old Excel sheet, all information such as Form 5, Form 10, father's name, date of birth, date of joining, and date of leaving are mentioned. Now, Form 5 and Form 10 need to be filed separately. We need to follow this new method starting this month.

Steps for Managing Employee Resignation and Registration on the EPFO Site
1st Step: Complete the resignation formalities of the employee on the EPFO site. Go to the member section, then to the exit bulk option. For individual cases, go to the profile and mark the employee's exit based on their last working day.
2nd Step: Register your new employee on the EPFO portal. For bulk registrations, navigate to the EPFO site, go to the member section, and register individually or in bulk.
3rd Step: Download the UAN Base ECR Excel file for further processing. On the EPFO site, go to payment, ECR/return filing, ECR upload, select Nov-16, choose the type of "ECR," and download the Excel file. If the file does not open, please rename it to ecr.xls and remember not to forget the ".xls" extension.
4th Step: Fill out the UAN base ECR file, remove employees who have been processed for exit, and add new registered members' UAN and names to the file. Ensure it matches with the pay register.
5th Step: An example sheet is attached to this post for more information. Please contact me via email only; no calls, please.
6th Step: Refer to the contribution rate of PF and manually update accounts 22, 21, and 2 according to the contribution rate.
7th Step: Mention the total number of employees manually on the challan, along with their gross wages, and upload it finally.
8th Step: Approve the ECR file and download it.
9th Step: Verify and make the payment online through the same portal.
