Our company registered on 30th June 2017, but the ESIC limit of 10 employees was crossed on 2nd January 2017. Only 1 employee's salary is below the 21000 limit. We have deposited contributions for June 2017. Do we have to deposit contributions and file returns from January 2017?

The salary ceiling of 21000 is for making payment exclusion from ESIC. However, the ESIC act becomes applicable immediately when the "total" number of employees exceeds ten. It does not matter whether they are drawing 21000+ or not. For the applicability of the act, all employees are counted for registration, and contribution is payable for only those employees who are below the ceiling limit. The rest are excluded.
Thanks for your Reply. So,We have to deposit contribution & File return From Jan 2017 or deposit PF from April 2017?

Currently we have 15 employees and we registered under ESIC. All Employees' salary is above 22000. So how can I file NIL return in ESIC Portal?

As the total employee attained 10 in the month of Jan 2017 you initiate enrollment ASAP. After receiving the coverage letter you can proceed as per the letter says

We have already registered in ESIC on 30th June 2017, and the date of registration in the ESIC letter is also 30th June. In the registration letter, we mentioned 02/01/2017 as the date on which the limit of 10 employees was exceeded. There is nothing specific written in the letter about the period for which you need to file returns. So please guide me.
