Hi Seniors, can you please explain to me what are the relevant forms for PF & ESI that have to be filled in each month and how and where they should be submitted? Do we have any specific dates by which the forms need to be submitted? Are there any other forms to be submitted apart from PF & ESI? If so, please explain.

Work Location: Chennai

Industry: BPO/Call Centre

This is a bit urgent, so I request you to please shed some light on this topic.

Regards,
