What it is
ESIC, explained in plain English.
ESIC return filing is the monthly reporting and deposit of Employees' State Insurance contributions for covered workers. The ESI Act covers employees drawing wages up to ₹21,000 per month (₹25,000 for persons with disability), with the employee contributing 0.75% and the employer 3.25% of wages. Each month the employer files a contribution return on the ESIC portal listing covered employees and their wages, generates the challan, and pays it - securing medical and cash benefits for workers and their dependents.
TL;DR
We identify covered employees, compute the employee and employer ESI shares, file the monthly contribution return, and pay the challan by the 15th.
