ESI RETURN FILING

ESI is a self-financing insurance scheme regulated by the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 (ESI Act) for employees earning monthly salaries up to the prescribed limit. Under this scheme, the employee contributes a certain portion of his salary towards the insurance premium and the employer also contributes an amount as prescribed under the ESI Act. Once, an organization is registered under the ESI scheme it has to comply with various provisions of the Act and file periodic returns online. Certain relevant queries in connection with the same have been dealt with below in the form of an FAQ:

Once an organization is registered, the liability/responsibility to file returns vested automatically with the organization. Accordingly it has to file monthly return from the very next month in which it is registered.
Every organization registered under such Act, needs to file monthly return mandatorily.
The due date of payment of ESI dues and filing monthly return is same i.e. 15th of the next month for which the return is required to be filed.
