What it is
PF ECR, explained in plain English.
EPF return filing is the monthly process of reporting and depositing Provident Fund contributions to the EPFO. Under the EPF Act, both the employee and employer contribute 12% of basic wages plus dearness allowance, with the employer's share split between EPF and the pension scheme. Each month the employer files an Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR) listing every member's wages and contribution, generates the challan, and pays it. Timely filing keeps each member's UAN account credited and avoids damages and interest.
