I am a Manpower HR Executive in an office. The PF annual return for 2011-2012 has not yet been submitted in my office. Now, my boss has asked me to do this work, but I don't know what needs to be filed. I have prepared FORM 3A & 6A. Please tell me if this data is sufficient for submission. Can I go to the PF office with this data for the annual return? Please help me out.

You are right. You should submit Form 3A and 6 in both hard copies and soft copies. May I know how you prepared those forms? Did you use the E-return tool? It is now mandatory to use the e-return tool for filing annual returns; otherwise, they will not be accepted.

Steps to Submit the Annual Return

For submitting the annual return, download the E-return tool. First, add the company and input the master data of the company and employees. Upload the monthly contribution wages from March 2011 to February 2012. After that, generate the Form 3-A text file and copy it onto a CD for submission of the return.
