On the other hand, the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has provided one-time relaxation for the employers to deposit contribution for the month of March 2022.

“Keeping in view the problems faced by employers in depositing ESI contribution for the period of March, the Director General in exercise of powers vested under regulation 100 has relaxed the provisions as entered in regulations 26 and 31 of the Employees State Insurance (General) Regulations, 1950,” the ESIC notification read.

As per the circular, the employers are now allowed to deposit contribution for the month of March 2022 up to April 30 instead of April 15.

The employers are also allowed to file return of contribution up to May 26 instead of May 11, 2022 for the contribution period from October 2021 to March 2022.
