Dear Employers,
EPFO has launched the online receipt of Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) starting from April 2012 (March payments are made in April). Employers are requested to register their establishments and create their user ID and password through this portal. Registered employers can upload the Electronic Return, and the uploaded return data will be displayed through a digitally signed PDF copy, available for printing. Once approved by the employer, an online Challan will be generated based on the uploaded return. Employers have the option to make the payment through internet banking of SBI or print the Challan and pay at any designated branch of State Bank of India (SBI). Please click here to read the FAQ.
