Employers can now file provident fund returns online from anywhere, anytime.
With the formal launch of the e-challan-cum-return (ECR) system on Tuesday, employers need not visit EPFO offices to file various monthly and annual paper returns, the Union Labour Minister, Mr Mallikarjun Kharge, said.
Releasing a quarterly newsletter, Shram Sansar, here on the occasion of the International Labour Day, Mr Kharge said the ECR system would also enable the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) offices to do away with manually entering PF returns and update the information.
On the newsletter, Mr Kharge said it was aimed at providing awareness regarding good labour practices and initiatives taken by the Central as well as State Governments to all stakeholders on a regular basis.
The newsletter will be brought out by the V.V.Giri National Labour Institute, Noida, on behalf of the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
