What this covers
Every covered establishment files an Electronic Challan cum Return each month. The ECR carries each member's wages and contributions; the challan that follows has to be paid on or before the 15th of the next month.
It sounds mechanical until a mid-month joiner, an LOP, an exit without a date of leaving, or an employee whose Aadhaar is not seeded turns a routine upload into a rejected file at 6 PM on the 15th.
We take your monthly salary register, prepare the ECR text file, reconcile it against the previous month, generate the challan, share it for payment and send you back the filed acknowledgement — every month, on a fixed cycle.
Dates, rates and penalties
Monthly, filed before the 15th — with the filing, the follow-up and the acknowledgement handled for you.
How we handle it
Filed on a calendar, not on a reminder
We ask for the salary register on a fixed date each month and follow up ourselves. You are never the one remembering the 15th.
Month-on-month reconciliation
Headcount, wages and contributions are compared with the previous month, so a dropped employee or a wrong basic gets caught before upload.
Joiners and exits handled
UAN generation, previous member ID linking, date of exit marking and reason of leaving are all part of the monthly run.
KYC kept clean
Aadhaar, PAN and bank seeding are monitored so employees can actually withdraw or transfer when they leave.
Annual reconciliation
At year end we tie the twelve challans back to your books and give you a statement your auditor can use directly.
