ESIC & PF Appeals

In India, appeals related to Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) and Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) can be filed with the designated Appellate Authority within a specified timeframe, usually 60 days from the date of the original order, and require the submission of a prescribed fee along with any necessary supporting documents; for both schemes, the appeal process involves challenging decisions made by the respective governing bodies regarding contributions, benefits, or other related matters.

• Filing: An appeal needs to be filed in the prescribed format with the relevant supporting documents and fees.
• Hearing: The Appellate Authority will review the appeal and may conduct a hearing if necessary.
