TERMS & CONDITIONS

By subscribing to the above plans, you agree to abide by our following additional terms and conditions

  1. Monthly Subscription Model: Our ESI Return Filing plans are MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS (annual option also available at discount) — no lock-in, cancellable with 10 days' notice. Each month's subscription covers the 7 deliverables: employee addition in ESI portal, employee exit marking in ESI portal, monthly ESI return filing (Contribution upload), ESI contribution payment coordination, challan emailed to client, contribution history emailed to client, and the filing-by-15th guarantee.
  2. Plan Eligibility — 3 Tiers (Based on Employee Count): (a) ELEMENTAL (₹999/mo OR ₹10,500/yr) — UP TO 10 EMPLOYEES; (b) ENRICHED (₹1,999/mo OR ₹21,500/yr) — 10 TO 25 EMPLOYEES; (c) SUPREME (₹2,999/mo OR ₹31,500/yr) — 25 TO 50 EMPLOYEES. Annual subscription offers a discount over 12 monthly payments. ESTABLISHMENTS WITH MORE THAN 50 EMPLOYEES: please contact us for a CUSTOM ENTERPRISE PLAN.
  3. Statutory Anchor: ESI compliance is governed by the EMPLOYEES' STATE INSURANCE ACT, 1948 + ESI (Central) Rules 1950 + ESI (General) Regulations 1950. The CODE ON SOCIAL SECURITY, 2020 (notified into force 21 November 2025) consolidates ESI + other social-security legislations; ESI sub-Rules under the Code are being phased in State-by-State. The existing ESI Act 1948 framework + ESIC portal CONTINUES during the transition.
  4. Statutory ESI Contribution Structure: WAGE CEILING is ₹21,000 PER MONTH (₹25,000 for differently-abled employees). EMPLOYEE contribution = 0.75% of gross wages. EMPLOYER contribution = 3.25% of gross wages. TOTAL = 4% of gross wages (revised from 6.5% w.e.f. 1 July 2019 per Notification G.S.R.423(E)). Both contributions deposited to ESIC by 15TH OF NEXT MONTH. Coverage stops when employee's wages cross ₹21,000 ceiling — SUBJECT TO mid-period continuation rule (if wage crosses mid-contribution-period, deduction continues till end of that period — 30 Sep or 31 Mar).
  5. Late-Fee Zero Promise (Conditional): We file ESI Contribution by 15th OF NEXT MONTH provided client provides the monthly wage register + new joinee / exit data by DAY 7 of the next month. If client provides data late, ESI may be filed late + Section 39(5)(a) interest (12% p.a.) + Section 85B damages (5%–25% p.a. per delay band) become client's liability.
  6. Half-Yearly Return of Contributions (Out-of-Scope of Monthly Plans): ESIC has historically required a Return of Contributions on a half-yearly basis — FORM 5 for April–September period (due 11 NOVEMBER) and FORM 6 for October–March period (due 12 MAY). With ESIC's online portal migration, monthly Contribution uploads largely serve the half-yearly return purpose. Where explicit half-yearly Return of Contributions filing is mandated by your jurisdictional ESIC office, it is separately quoted at ₹2,499 per half-year.
  7. GST on Our Fee: All quoted prices are exclusive of GST @ 18%, charged at checkout.
  8. Refund Policy: Pro-rated refund of unused months is available on cancellation with 10 days' notice (less ₹499 closure fee). For the first month: full refund if no filing has been performed; partial refund proportionate to filings done. Government penalties / interest / damages paid via portal are non-refundable.
  9. Out-of-Scope Items: Our base plans cover the 7 deliverables listed above. NOT INCLUDED: ESIC inspection support / defence (Section 45A determination), Section 85 criminal prosecution defence, IP medical-benefit / sickness-benefit / maternity-benefit / disablement-benefit claim processing for individual members, Form 11 (Accident Report) processing, ESI Court / ESIC Appellate Tribunal matters, multi-state / multi-branch coordination, contractor employee ESI compliance (Principal Employer liability under Section 40), fresh ESIC Registration (separate LT service), Code on Social Security 2020 transition advisory. These are quoted separately as needed.
  10. Establishment-Level Responsibilities: Client is responsible for: maintaining monthly wage register + payroll, providing accurate gross-wage data for each employee, sharing new-joinee details (name + DOB + Aadhaar + PAN + Bank + photo) within 7 days of joining, sharing exit information (last working day + reason) for each member leaving, MAKING THE ESI CONTRIBUTION PAYMENT to ESIC via authorised banking channel using the challan we share, and intimating any change in establishment particulars promptly.
  11. Engagement Effective Date: Our subscription begins from the month immediately following onboarding. Onboarding (which is one-time + included) covers: existing employee data audit, existing IP / ESI Number verification, portal access setup with our team as authorised representative, and historical filing review (last 3 months). Catch-up filings for pre-onboarding months (if any) are separately quoted.
ESI Return Filing by Legal Terminus

Legal Terminus Priority ⚖

ESI Return Filing may look simple — upload the contribution details, generate the challan, and make the payment. But even a small delay or employee-data error can create bigger compliance issues later. Late filing may attract interest and penalties, incorrect employee records can affect medical benefits, and missed employee additions or exits can create problems during inspections or claim processing.

With LT Priority, your ESI Return Filing is handled on a priority basis by a dedicated compliance team that ensures faster processing, timely filing, and smooth monthly coordination.

What you get

  • ⚡Priority processing and faster monthly filing support.
  • 📅ESI contribution filing before the 15th of every month (subject to timely data sharing).
  • 👤Employee addition, exit marking, and IP record updates handled properly.
  • 📄Monthly contribution preparation, challan generation, and filing support.
  • ✅Proper handling of employee wage-limit changes as per ESIC rules.

Important Notes

  • 15TH OF NEXT MONTH IS A HARD DEADLINE: ESI dues for any month must be deposited by the 15th of NEXT month per Regulation 31. Section 39(5)(a) INTEREST @ 12% p.a. kicks in from the 16th — calculated daily. Section 85B DAMAGES are graded by delay (5% for <2 months / 10% for 2–4 / 15% for 4–6 / 25% for >6). For a ₹5 lakh ESI dues delayed 3 months: ₹15,000 interest + ₹12,500 damages = ₹27,500 statutory hit. Don't slip.
  • WAGE CEILING ₹21,000 IS THE COVERAGE THRESHOLD: ESI covers employees with GROSS WAGES UP TO ₹21,000 / month (₹25,000 for differently-abled). Employees earning above this are NOT covered. BUT — if an employee's wage CROSSES ₹21,000 MID-CONTRIBUTION-PERIOD, ESI deduction CONTINUES till the end of that period (30 Sep OR 31 Mar) per Regulation 22. Coverage stops from the next contribution period if wage continues above the ceiling.
  • 10 EMPLOYEES TRIGGERS COVERAGE: In most States, an establishment employing 10 OR MORE PERSONS becomes coverable under the ESI Act (some States have a 20+ threshold). Once registered, the employer must file MONTHLY contributions regardless of whether the subsequent employee count falls below 10. Voluntary coverage is also available.
  • IP NUMBER + KYC ARE EMPLOYEE-CRITICAL: Every covered employee gets an IP (Insured Person) Number on the ESIC portal at addition. Correct DOB, Aadhaar, and Bank account linkage are crucial — any error blocks the IP's medical / sickness / maternity / disablement benefits later. We do clean addition first time.

Why You Need Timely ESI Return Filing

The Employees' State Insurance (ESI) Act, 1948 requires eligible establishments to register under ESI and deposit monthly contributions for covered employees. Generally, establishments employing 10 or more employees must comply with ESI regulations for employees earning up to ₹21,000 per month. ESI provides valuable benefits such as medical care, sickness, maternity, disability, and dependent benefits for employees and their families.

Under the ESI scheme, employees contribute 0.75% of wages and employers contribute 3.25%, making the total contribution 4% of wages. Contributions must be deposited through the ESIC portal by the 15th of the following month. Delayed or incorrect filing may result in interest, penalties, compliance notices, recovery proceedings, and disruption of employee benefits.

ESI Contribution Structure (Monthly Computation)

ESI's contribution structure is different from EPF's — the wage ceiling (₹21,000) is a COVERAGE THRESHOLD, not a contribution cap. Employees earning gross wages up to ₹21,000 (or ₹25,000 if differently-abled) are COVERED + contributions are computed on ACTUAL GROSS WAGES (not capped at ₹21,000). Employees earning above ₹21,000 are NOT covered — subject to the mid-period continuation rule. Here's how the monthly contribution breaks down:

ComponentRate / CalculationExample A: Gross Wage = ₹15,000Example B: Gross Wage = ₹20,000
Employee Contribution (0.75%)0.75% of GROSS WAGES (covered IPs only)₹112.50 (rounded ₹113)₹150
Employer Contribution (3.25%)3.25% of GROSS WAGES (covered IPs only)₹487.50 (rounded ₹488)₹650
TOTAL ESI Contribution per IP (4%)Combined Employee + Employer₹600 (per IP per month)₹800 (per IP per month)
Coverage EligibilityGross wages ≤ ₹21,000 (₹25,000 differently-abled)CoveredCovered
If Wage > ₹21,000Not covered (with mid-period continuation rule)N/AN/A

Types of ESI Returns in India

This Section Is Reframed From "Types Of Registrations" Because Esi Return Filing Covers The 7 Monthly Deliverables We Execute For You. Same 7 Across All 3 Tiers; Tier Varies By Employee Count.

01

Employee Addition in ESI Portal (New IP Creation)

When a new employee joins (and is covered under the ESI threshold), we add them in the ESIC portal as a new INSURED PERSON. Captures: name, DOB, Aadhaar, PAN, Bank account, gender, photograph, family / nominee details, joining date. IP NUMBER (Insurance Number) is generated by the portal — the IP's lifelong identifier for ESI medical + monetary benefits.

02

Employee Exit Marking in ESI Portal

When an employee leaves (resignation / retirement / termination), we mark the EXIT in the ESI portal capturing: last working day + reason for exit. This ensures: no further contributions are computed for the member after exit; the IP can still claim accumulated benefits + transfer membership to next employer; and your monthly contribution ledger is accurate.

03

Monthly ESI Return Filing (Contribution Upload)

The MONTHLY CONTRIBUTION upload on the ESIC portal is the core compliance filing. Generated from your monthly wage register: IP-wise gross wages + Employee 0.75% + Employer 3.25% = Total 4% per IP. We validate every IP's wage data + compute contributions + generate the Contribution Statement in ESIC portal format + upload before the 15th-of-next-month deadline.

04

ESI Contribution Payment Coordination

Once the monthly Contribution is uploaded, the ESIC portal generates a CHALLAN with the total amount payable. We coordinate the payment to ESIC — via Internet Banking (SBI + 60+ empanelled banks) OR NEFT / RTGS using the challan reference. We track payment confirmation + verify the payment is reconciled by ESIC.

05

Challan Mail to Client

Same day as Contribution upload: we EMAIL THE ESI CHALLAN to you along with payment instructions (bank, beneficiary, amount, due date, payment reference). A clear paper-trail in your inbox. Once payment is confirmed, the final paid-challan acknowledgement is also emailed.

06

Contribution History Mail to Client

Monthly: we email you the COMPLETE CONTRIBUTION HISTORY — IP-wise wages + contributions for the month + running totals for the current contribution period (April–September OR October–March) + verification of all IPs' coverage status (active / exited / wage-ceiling-crossed). Clean ledger every month, no surprises at half-year.

Benefits of ESI Return Filing in India

Timely + accurate ESI returns aren't just employer compliance — they unlock real medical + monetary benefits for your EMPLOYEES too. Here's what matters on both sides of the table:

Late-Fee Zero + Section 45A Risk Reduction

Section 39(5)(a) interest at 12% p.a. + Section 85B damages at 5%–25% p.a. compound fast. For a ₹5 lakh monthly ESI dues 3 months late: ₹15,000 + ₹12,500 = ₹27,500 statutory hit. We file by the 15th provided client data is in by Day 7 — the cheapest insurance you can buy. ESIC Section 45A determinations re-assess up to 5 YEARS of liability with interest + damages.

Banking + Tender + Investor Due Diligence + Employee Trust

Banks, NBFCs, investors, and government tenders ALL check ESI compliance status during due diligence (ESIC publishes defaulter lists). Erratic contributions flag the company as risky — loan rejection, lower credit limits, tender disqualification. A clean ESI record = best terms, and visible compliance builds employee trust.

Full Medical Care for IP + Family (FREE)

Every INSURED PERSON (IP) + their FAMILY get FREE COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL CARE through ESIC hospitals + dispensaries + empanelled tie-up hospitals. Includes OPD + IPD + diagnostics + medicines + super-speciality treatment + dental + ophthalmic + ambulance + family-planning + immunisation. One of the most valuable employee benefits in India — effectively free family-health insurance funded by employer + employee contributions.

Sickness Benefit + Maternity Benefit

SICKNESS BENEFIT: 70% of average daily wages for up to 91 DAYS per year for sickness leave (Section 49 ESI Act). EXTENDED SICKNESS BENEFIT for chronic diseases (up to 2 years). MATERNITY BENEFIT: 100% of average daily wages for 26 WEEKS (Section 50) — one of the most generous maternity benefits globally. Additional 1 month for complications. Adoption + commissioning-mother benefit also available.

Disablement Benefit + Dependants' Benefit

TEMPORARY DISABLEMENT: 90% of wages for the period of incapacity (Section 51). PERMANENT DISABLEMENT: 90% of wages as a lifelong monthly pension (Section 51 + First Schedule). DEPENDANTS' BENEFIT: 90% of wages as a monthly pension to surviving spouse + children + dependent parents in case of death due to employment injury (Section 52).

Funeral Expenses + Atal Beemit Vyakti Kalyan Yojana

FUNERAL EXPENSES: ₹15,000 paid to the eldest surviving family member (Section 50 ESI Act). ATAL BEEMIT VYAKTI KALYAN YOJANA (ABVKY) — Unemployment allowance up to 25% of average wages for 90 days for IPs rendered unemployed due to retrenchment / closure / permanent invalidity / VRS (subject to 2 years of insurance + recent COVID-era relaxations).
