ESI Return Filing: Penalty for Late Filing

Hi Shefali,

Please note the template is provided within ESIC portal.

For better understanding, I attempt here to explain the steps to follow as given below:

Login to your account in www.esic.in

You will see ‘Employee’ Menu in which click on ‘List of Employees’.

It will open the List of Employees Window.

You have the option to download this list in the formats that are available therein (PDF/Excel). You can have this downloaded to know the list of employees for whom the ESIC IP has been registered.

In the main menu, click on ‘file monthly contribution’.

Click on ‘Sample Template’ option to download the template. Please read the guidelines given there.

You will have the template now in which you will fill in the IP number of the employees who is no longer within the ESIC limit.

Fill in the Employee details and fill zero in numeric on the column of ‘no. of days for the wages paid / payable during the month’ and ‘total monthly wages’.

The next 2 columns will ask for ‘reason’ and ‘last working day’, respectively and you can fill it with appropriate code as per the guidelines given in the template sheet.

Save this file.

Go to main menu and click on ‘file monthly contribution’.

Select the month & year for contribution.

Click ‘upload excel’ option and upload the template file that you have saved.

Once you upload, a contribution history page will display wherein you can see the NIL contribution to verify the details uploaded by you before proceeding with the filing.

Once you are sure, click ‘submit’ option and proceed with the next steps as displayed there.

After submission, you can go back to main menu and view your contribution history by selecting corresponding month. There is an option to print as well.
