Common Scrutiny Mistakes

Avoid portal rejections, tax notices, and filing penalties.

Issue: Missing Aadhaar-UAN seeding for new joiners resulting in ECR rejection

Fix: Under Section 142 of Social Security Code, ECR cannot be submitted unless the employee's UAN is verified with Aadhaar.

Issue: Delayed payment past the 15th of the calendar month

Fix: Delayed remittance attracts damages under Section 14B (up to 25% p.a.) and penal interest under Section 7Q (12% p.a.).

Issue: Incorrect calculation of administrative charges (Account 02 and 22)

Fix: Ensure Account 2 admin charges are remitted at 0.50% of total EPF wages, subject to a minimum of ₹500/month.
