EPFO mandates accurate gross wage reporting in ECR for ELI Scheme benefits

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation, vide circular no. ELI/ GrossWagesinECR/2025/E-1132964, dated 22nd July 2025, has mandated accurate reporting of gross wages in the monthly ECR in order to avail benefits under the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) Scheme.

Various types of incentives have been announced for employers and employees under the ELI scheme, wherein eligibility for the incentives is only in respect of employees whose monthly gross wages do not exceed Rs. 1 lakh. Hence, providing the gross wages of employees precisely in the monthly ECR is crucial to availing the benefit.
