PF-ECR and ESIC files straight out of the payroll run
After each payroll run is finalized, Flocci Work Suite exports the PF-ECR text file for the EPFO employer portal and the ESIC contribution return file — generated member-wise from the run's locked wages and contributions, so filings always match what was actually paid.
The filing is a byproduct, not a project
Because EPF and ESI are computed inside the run, the government file formats are just another rendering of locked run data. The monthly ritual of rebuilding member-wise contribution sheets disappears.
Locked data means defensible filings
Runs lock at finalization. The ECR you filed in August is regenerable from the August run forever — an audit trail by construction.
Caught before it is filed
The AI QA audit reviews contribution-affecting anomalies — pay swings, joiners, exits — before finalization, which is before the filing exists. Errors get fixed upstream of the portal, not amended after.
Frequently asked questions
- What government files can I export?
- The PF-ECR text file for the EPFO portal and the ESIC contribution return file, both generated from finalized payroll runs.
- Can the exported file disagree with payroll?
- No — both files are rendered from the same locked run data as the payslips and payroll register.
- Do I still need to visit the government portals?
- Yes — you upload the generated files and pay through the EPFO/ESIC portals as usual. Flocci removes the file-preparation and reconciliation work.
