In your situation, the Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) filing in Employee Provident Fund (EPF) depends on the employer's contribution at the ceiling point of INR 15,000 and the employee's contribution on their full basic salary.
Here is a step-by-step guide:
1. Open the ECR portal on the EPFO site at https://unifiedportal-emp.epfindia.gov.in/epfo/.
2. Login using your Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) credentials.
3. Once you are logged in, go to the 'Payment' section, then select 'ECR Upload'.
4. You will be prompted to upload an ECR text file. This file should contain all the details of monthly contributions of employees. The format of the ECR file is prescribed by the EPFO.
5. In the ECR text file, for each employee, you have to provide the employer's EPF contribution and the employee's EPF contribution. In this case, for the employer's EPF contribution, you should consider the ceiling limit of INR 15,000. For the employee's EPF contribution, you should consider the full basic salary.
6. Once the ECR text file is uploaded and the data is correct, you will receive a Temporary Return Reference Number (TRRN), which can be used for future reference.
7. After receiving the TRRN, you can proceed to make the payment online.
This process is in accordance with the EPF Act, 1952, where the employer can limit their EPF contributions to the statutory limit of INR 15,000, even if the employee's basic salary is higher. The employee, however, can decide to contribute to EPF on their full basic salary.
Remember, it's important to complete this procedure within the due date of EPF filing to avoid any late filing penalties. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
