Sir,

Keeping in view the problem being faced by the Employers in filing ESI contribution for the contribution period April, 2020 to September, 2020 within 42 days, the Director General, in exercise of powers vested under regulation100, has relaxed the provisions as entered in regulation 26 of The Employees’ State Insurance (General) Regulations, 1950.

Accordingly, one-time opportunity has been given to those Employers who could not file ESI contribution for the contribution period April, 2020 to September, 2020 within 42 days after end of the contribution period. The Employers are now allowed to file this contribution for the Contribution Period from 1st April, 2020 to 30th September, 2020, up to 15.01.2021. Further, it is made clear that: –

1. This one-time relaxation is limited to the contribution period ending September, 2020 only and no further relaxation in limitation for other contribution period is allowed.

2. Such relaxation is not extended to other older or new contribution period.

In this regard it is advised to give wide publicity to the above relaxation in Local Media, Employers, Trade Associations and Employers’ Unions etc.
