Dear Sir,
As per the notification, I have completed the installation of the software and updated the data therein. I have also obtained challans for 5 & 10 as well. However, I am still unclear about how the ECR is connected with the PF Website. How can it be online like ESIC?
Please guide me on this matter, sir.

Dear Mangesh,
Please download the 'E-Return Tool for Employer' program from the EPF website. Upload the data for your establishment and generate the ECR Return Form in txt format. Then, upload the txt file on the website under the E-sewa link.
Challan can be generated online, similar to ESIC.
