Monthly Returns Package (PF, ESI & PT)
PF, ESI and PT monthly returns handled together on one calendar, with site-wise PF and ESI files prepared for you.
What this service is
A managed service covering PF, ESI and PT monthly returns together: contribution calculation, filing on each portal, and challans and acknowledgements shared with you on a fixed monthly schedule. As part of this package, we use our PDF Highlighter tool ourselves to prepare site-wise PF ECR and ESI ECR files from your statements, and share those files with you.
Why it matters
Recurring compliance fails quietly. Nobody notices a missed return until a notice arrives or a client audit asks for twelve months of challans at once. A managed calendar is far cheaper than reconstructing a year of filings under pressure.
Who needs it
- Employers with PF, ESI or PT registrations
- Businesses managing compliance across multiple sites
- Companies preparing for client or principal-employer audits
- Businesses currently filing PF, ESI and PT separately who want one schedule
What you get
- PF, ESI and PT filed together on one calendar

Questions people ask
What does ₹9,999 cover?
It is the base package price for up to 500 employees, covering PF, ESI and PT together. Use the calculator on the compliance page, and we confirm scope in writing.
What are the site-wise files you mention?
We run your PF ECR and ESI ECR statements through our own PDF Highlighter tool to produce site-wise files, and share those with you as part of this package.
Which returns apply to my business?
That depends on your registrations, state, employee strength and current rules. We map it before we start.
Can you take over from our current provider?
Yes. We start with a review of the last filed periods.
What about CLRA, ESIC half-yearly or annual returns?
Those are handled as separate services — see CLRA Half-Yearly Returns and ESIC Half-Yearly Returns — since they run on a different schedule from this monthly package.
