The monthly files

Out of the salary run, not typed again.

PF and ESI amounts are a result of the salary you already ran. So the files are built from the locked salary, member by member.

The PF file is a text file with one line per member, in the ECR layout of the EPFO siteverify.

The ESI sheet lists each covered worker with days and wages for the month.

A member-wise sheet shows PF wages, the worker's share and the employer's share for each person, so your CA can check before uploading.

A person with no PF number (UAN) or ESI number is flagged before you download.

The rates, in plain words

What is cut, and who pays it.

These are the figures the salary run uses. Each one is a government rule and carries a "verify" mark.

PF wage limit

PF wages are counted up to ₹25,000 a month from 17 September 2026. Before that the limit was ₹15,000verify.

The same limit applies to the employer's share.

When

The Compliance Calendar shows the date, the amount and the file.

What "verify" means. Every figure with this mark is a rule set by the government, as we read it in October 2026 from published summaries, not from the gazette itself. Rules change and differ by state. Check each one with your CA against the government notification before you use it.

September 2026

A month with two PF limits, split for you.

The PF wage limit changed in the middle of September 2026verify. That month has 16 days under the old limit of ₹15,000 and 14 days under the new limit of ₹25,000.

For a person whose basic is above both limits, PF wages for September are ₹15,000 × 16 ÷ 30 + ₹25,000 × 14 ÷ 30 = ₹19,667verify.

For a person whose basic is below ₹15,000, nothing changes.

From October the new limit applies to the whole month.

The split is done by a fixed rule in the salary run. Ask your CA to confirm it against the notification before the September return.

That depends on the size of your business, the pay of each worker and the rules in force, and it is a question for your CA. In Payroll Bundals you switch PF and ESI on for the business and for each person, and the salary run follows those switches.

They have their own app. Professional Tax is worked out in salary for Gujarat today, at ₹200 in a month when pay is ₹12,000 or moreverify. The Gujarat Labour Welfare Fund is ₹6 from the worker and ₹12 from the employer, in June and Decemberverify. Other states are shown in a table for reference.

Yes. You add a login for your CA. It can see the figures and download the files, and cannot change salary.
