Monthly ESI contribution filing and challan support for ESIC-registered employers.
From ₹899 · Monthly ESI filing · Employee validation · Challan support
ESIC filing is the recurring compliance process through which an eligible employer maintains insured-person contribution information and pays the applicable ESI contribution through the ESIC employer system.
It is separate from ESIC employer registration, employee insurance-number processes and payroll management. A business that has obtained ESIC registration must continue to maintain eligible employee records and contributions according to the applicable rules.
ESIC filing applies to employers that are covered by the ESI framework and have an active ESIC establishment setup with eligible employees.
Coverage depends on the type of establishment, notified area/category, employee count and applicable wage rules. ESIC's published guidance states coverage for non-seasonal factories with 10 or more persons, while coverage of other establishments depends on the applicable notified framework.
Not every business with 10 employees automatically requires ESI.
The current general wage ceiling for ESI coverage is ₹21,000 per month. For persons with disability, the ceiling is ₹25,000 per month, subject to the applicable rules.
The wage ceiling is used for determining coverage. It is not a simple rule that a person who crosses ₹21,000 in any payroll month immediately loses coverage. The applicable ESI rules governing continuation of coverage and contribution during a contribution period must be considered.
ESIC's current published guidance states:
| Contribution | Rate |
|---|---|
| Employer contribution | 3.25% of wages |
| Employee contribution | 0.75% of wages |
These are statutory contributions and are separate from CorporateWalla's professional fee.
Employees whose average daily wages fall within the prescribed exemption threshold may be exempt from the employee share while the employer share can still apply, subject to the applicable ESIC rules.
ESIC's published guidance states that contribution is to be paid within 15 days from the last day of the calendar month in which the contribution falls due.
For example, contributions for a month are generally payable by the 15th of the following month. This is a statutory payment requirement—not a guarantee that a consultant can obtain government processing or approval on the same day.
Current ESIC instructions should be checked for the applicable filing/payment workflow before each compliance cycle.
New eligible employees should be added to the employer's ESIC records using the applicable insurance-number process. Existing insurance details should be checked rather than creating unnecessary duplicate records.
When employees leave, the employer should update the relevant records according to the ESIC process. Historical corrections, insurance-number issues or disputes may require separate handling and are not automatically resolved through routine monthly filing.
Delayed ESI contribution can attract statutory interest and other consequences under the applicable ESI framework. The amount and treatment depend on the delay period, applicable law and facts.
Timely filing assistance can reduce administrative risk, but it cannot guarantee that interest, damages, inspection or other statutory consequences will never arise.
ESIC Registration establishes the employer's applicable ESIC setup. If you still need it, see PF + ESI Registration.
ESIC Filing is the recurring monthly contribution compliance after registration.
Payroll Management covers the broader salary-processing function, including salary calculations, payslips, PF/ESI/PT calculations and employee records where scoped.
ESIC Filing is specifically focused on the ESI contribution process. PF-covered employers handle the equivalent EPF process through monthly EPF Filing.
A payroll engagement can feed the data needed for ESIC filing, but not every payroll package automatically includes ESIC filing unless explicitly stated.
ESIC coverage can extend across states and establishments, but the exact registration and compliance structure depends on the establishment, locations and applicable notified coverage.
Multi-state engagements are scoped by establishment and location; identical rules do not apply in every location.
