View E-Challan Return (ECR) in TallyPrime  (Payroll)

The Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) is a plain text electronic return. From April 2012, employers of EPF-covered establishments can file ECR, eliminating the need to submit physical returns such as Forms 5, 10, 12A, 3A, and 6A. You can also capture an employee’s non-contribution days for a month by recording an attendance voucher and generating the ECR file.

1. Gateway of Tally > Display More Reports > Statutory Reports > Payroll Reports > Provident Fund > E-Challan Cum Return (ECR).
   
2. In the E-Challan Return (ECR) screen, press C (Configure) to modify the Export Configuration or E (Export).
   The ECR file will be created in the TallyPrime installation folder.
3. Open the .txt ECR file from the TallyPrime installation folder.
4. Upload the ECR file on the ECR portal on the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation of India website to capture the employee’s PF contribution.
