Who We Help
Why PF Returns Get Filed Late
Most late PF filings are avoidable. They usually come down to a few common gaps.
ECR due date simply forgotten
EPF and EPS split calculated incorrectly against the wage ceiling
UAN or employee details mismatched, causing rejection
Challan generated but payment not completed in time
Elixir Filings tracks your monthly deadline and validates your ECR before upload, so nothing is rejected or late.

01
PF Return Filing
PF return filing means submitting the Electronic Challan cum Return, or ECR, to EPFO every month, combining your return and payment in a single workflow. Both employer and employee contribute 12 percent of basic wages plus dearness allowance, with the employer's share split into 3.67 percent EPF, 8.33 percent EPS, capped at a wage of Rs. 15,000, and 0.5 percent EDLI. The ECR is due by the 15th of the following month. Elixir Filings manages this filing every month, so nothing is ever late or rejected.
