11 May 2012 Sir,
Recently EPF Department introduced the ELECTRONIC CHALLAN CUM RETURN (ECR) to be uploaded. One my Client who is a State Govt.(Assam) undertaking deposits CPF (Share of Employee & Employer).
Here I am confused whether CPF is similar to EPF or not ? Because recently they went to deposit in SBI which the bank returned and suggested to go for online procedure. The ECR Help desk of Guwahati could not make it clear whether the online format is same or not.
Can anybody help me in this regard ?

The procedure is very simple. First you have to contact the Accounts section of your EPF office under which your institution falls or where you are submitting your returns.

In that office they are conducting free awareness classes for all on how to follow the new system.

They will issue a user id and password after that you can log on to your system

Thanks and regards
