Effective Date – August 1, 2025
To ensure that only eligible employees—those earning gross wages not exceeding ₹1,00,000—receive benefits under the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) Scheme, employers are now required to accurately report gross wages in the Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR). This requirement will apply to all ECRs filed for the wage month of August 2025 onwards. Employers must take care to fill in the correct wage figures, as incorrect entries may lead to disqualification from the scheme. All field offices have been directed to actively disseminate this update among establishments under their jurisdiction.
