EPF ECR NEW FILE SEP 17TH 2026


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A user is seeking the new Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) file for September 2026, specifically after the wage ceiling increase from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 effective 17th September 2026. They are unable to download it from the EPFO portal. Another user clarified that the ECR template remains the same, advising to amend the wage ceiling pro rata. The original poster is asking for further guidance on how to modify their existing ECR file to reflect the new ceiling for contributions made from 17th September 2026 onwards.

08 October 2026 Hi Everyone,

Can anyone please share the new EPF ECR file/template for September 2026, applicable from 17th September 2026 onwards, after changing the EPF wage ceiling from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000?

I am unable to download the new ECR file from the EPFO portal. If anyone has the latest ECR format/template, kindly share it.

Thanks in advance.

08 October 2026 The ECR template is the same. Just amend the wage ceiling amount on a pro rata basis wherever applicable.

08 October 2026 Thank you for your reply.

We have already made the contribution up to 16th September 2026 with the ₹15,000 wage ceiling, and from 17th September 2026 onwards, we need to apply the revised ₹25,000 wage ceiling.

Could you please let me know how we can make the required changes in the old ECR file and generate/upload the revised ECR file accordingly?

Thank you for your guidance.
