HI ALL
Respected Sir,
I expressed my views as under: -
I am at loss to understand the logic of paying ESI and PF contributions by one challan. I don't think both the departments are capable to manage the things, as they are notorious in mismanaging. There would be a complete breakdown.
I think it may create some confusion with the Bank in remitting the amount to both the organisations. Presently there is confusion among the SBI branches at present by not remitting the fund to ESIC / PF with its own challan. At present both the department call for our paid copy and bank statements for verification of payments.
What will happen when company is having different branches for ESI with sub code number (may be in different states) while for PF only one number?
Most importantly due date for the payment of contributions under both the Acts is different. Limit under the Act for compliance is also defers, so the no of employees defers. The employers are required to submit the original paid challan alongwith returns under both the Acts, hence it will not be possible.
In Mumbai area (Zone) jurisdiction under ESI & PF are different and bank statements goes to different offices. For example, employer in Chembur area will pay the contributions at SBI Chembur Branch, then for PF payments goes to Navi Mumbai, SRO PF office and for ESI it goes to RO Colaba. In Mumbai some of the SBI Branches do not accept payments under ESI Act.
It is not mandatory for all hence in our own interest, we should continue with the present practise of separate challan for ESI & PF.

Thanks .
We are looking forward to the day this can be done on line!! I wonder why the delay. That is the easiest, fastest and sure way. It will take a load off the banks and save everyone a whole lot of manhours!!
Let's hope that too happens in this year 2010!!

Thanks a lot for the information.
However, please adress a few queries:
- What will be the due date of payment of Combined Challan, as earlier, the due date for PF Challan was 15th of every month & 21st for ESI?????
- Would the single ESI Challan be accepted throughout India as earlier it was city wise?????
Please resolve at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
ESI returns are filed half yearly to the concerned Local ESI offices where the branches of the company is located along with the challans for that concerned branch mentioning the subcode of that branch in the return.
If the challan is combined how this can be possible.
Kindly advise.

I fully agree with the views expressed by Mr. Hiren Chheda.
A Sub Group on Labor constituted Under High Level Task Force was formed to look into the problems of Micro & SMEs. I am sure Micro & SMEs are facing many different problems and paying PF and ESI contributions by separate challans is not at all a problem for them. It seems that, instead of looking into real problems of Micro & SMEs Sub Group has found a Mole from the Mountain and have come up with some bureaucratic window-dressing. PF and ESI authorities also seem to have accepted the impractical suggestion readily as a word from gospel.
If implemented Common Challan will pose following problems.

If implemented Common Challan will pose following problems.
- Firstly banks will not accept common challan for two payments going to two totally different entities and their accounts.
- Not all banks and their branches accept payment for both ESI and PF.
- As it is we all are facing problems of banks Not Crediting or Late Crediting the accounts. Now there will be added problems of wrong crediting as well.
- Due date for payment of ESI and PF Contributions are different. Common Challan means either delayed payment or early payment by default.
- How to attach one original challan to two different returns.
- Many organizations have more than one Employer Code for ESI or Many Sub Codes and generally only one Employer Code for PF. How to manage this in Common Challan.
