ESIC further extends period for filing ESI contribution
The country is dealing with a very challenging situation due to COVID-19 Pandemic. As a relief measure, the period for filing ESI contribution for the month of February and March was earlier extended to 15 April and 15 May, respectively. Now, considering the hardship being faced by employers, the period for filing ESI contribution for the month of February has been further extended from earlier extended period i.e. 15 April to 15 May, 2020. The period for filing contribution for the month of March 2020 is also 15 May, 2020. No penalty or interest or damage will be levied on establishments during the extended period.
Further, purchase of medicines by ESI beneficiaries from private chemists during the lockdown period and its subsequent reimbursement by ESIC has been permitted.
