Monthly ECR filings, ESI challans, half-yearly returns, and annual submissions — each with strict statutory deadlines that carry interest and penalties on every day of delay. Aksharaa files on time, every time, with zero follow-up required from you.
Three statutory filing streams — PF, ESI, and Professional Tax — each with different frequencies, portals, and deadlines. Aksharaa manages all of them under one engagement.
A typical employer with PF and ESI obligations has recurring filings every single month of the year. Missing even one creates a cascade of interest, penalties, and audit exposure.
From receiving your monthly attendance and payroll data to generating the filed acknowledgement — Aksharaa manages the entire cycle. You share data, we handle everything else.
Every day of delay on PF and ESI filings attracts statutory interest. Beyond interest, EPFO and ESIC officers can initiate damage proceedings and prosecution.
Already behind on filings? Aksharaa helps you regularise arrears and get back on track — minimising penalty exposure.
Talk to Us NowAnswers to what employers ask about PF and ESI returns filing.
Interest at 12% per annum accrues from the due date. If the default continues, EPFO can raise a damage demand of 5–25% of the outstanding contributions. Repeated defaults can trigger inspection and prosecution proceedings. Aksharaa ensures ECRs are filed by the 12th–13th of each month to give buffer before the 15th deadline.
Yes. Aksharaa assists employees with PF transfer requests when switching jobs and employer-side claim attestation for PF withdrawals. All online transfer claims (Form 13) are processed through the EPFO unified portal on your behalf.
Yes. PF filing is centralised under your establishment code on EPFO's unified portal — all branches file under one code. ESI filings require separate sub-codes per location, which Aksharaa maintains and files separately. Multi-state employers receive a consolidated monthly MIS report covering all locations.
We need monthly attendance data, gross salary details for each employee, and a list of new joiners and exits with dates. We provide a simple monthly input template — you fill it, share it by the 5th, and Aksharaa handles the rest. No portal access or technical knowledge required on your side.
Yes. We handle retrospective filing, arrear computation, and penalty calculation for establishments that have missed past filings. We also assist in responding to EPFO and ESIC notices and negotiating penalty waivers where applicable. Regularising quickly minimises total liability.
