If you skip it

Penalty exposure: Late PF payment attracts damages of up to 1% per month of delay under the EPF Scheme, plus simple interest of 12% per annum. Late ESI payment attracts interest of 12% per annum and damages. Persistent default can lead to recovery action and prosecution.

Frequently asked questions

What is the due date for PF and ESI?

Both PF and ESI contributions for a month are due by the 15th of the following month.

Did the Labour Codes change PF filing?

PF and ESI now sit under the Code on Social Security, with a new EPF Scheme notified in 2026. The 12% contribution rate and Rs 15,000 wage ceiling continue, but the wider wage definition can increase the PF wage for many employees.

We missed a few months. Can you help?

Yes. We file pending months, compute likely interest and damages, and check whether any current relief scheme applies to you.
