EPFO extends this deadline to October 31, 2026

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has extended the deadline for employers to file ECRs, or Electronic Challan Cum Return, from October 15 to October 31, 2026. This decision comes after the government recently announced an increased wage ceiling of Rs 25,000, effective from September 17. As a result, contributions to the EPF, EPS, and EDLI schemes will be calculated at higher rates for the period between September 17 and October 30.

To accommodate this change, the EPFO has extended the deadline for filing September 2026 ECRs, giving employers more time to adjust their calculations.
