EPFO MESSAGES

One of my client has received below mail from EPFO. Company has only directors. Whether compliance under EPFO is required if company has only two directors: mail received is as below:

DEAR EMPLOYER, YOUR ESTABLISHMENT Dxxxxxxxxxx5, ABCD PHARMA PRIVATE LIMITED, HAS FAILED TO REMIT DUES SINCE COVERAGE, PLEASE MAKE THE ECR PAYMENTS AT THE EARLIEST TO AVOID further PENAL DAMAGES AND INTEREST. PLEASE IGNORE IF ALREADY PAID - EPFO

Kindly suggest appropriate reply for above mail.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses an EPFO notice received by a company with only directors, questioning the requirement for EPFO compliance. It appears to be an automated message, possibly triggered by a lack of ECR (Electronic Challan-cum-Return) uploads. Participants are seeking clarification on whether directors alone necessitate EPFO registration and are discussing potential remedies, including checking filings or contacting the EPFO directly.

I think it's automated reply against the uploded ECR.
My client has also received the same mail..
no. of employees are only 3.

No Sir ECR Not uploaded. 

What's the remedy for this ????

No any ECR Uploaded that's why notice received make a challan
