Q:

What is the safest way to handle backdated ESIC registrations when amnesty schemes waive penalties?

A:

  • Allow backdated ESIC registration only after validating that the employee falls within the amnesty scheme’s eligible period and documentation requirements.
  • Record the actual joining date and the amnesty-approved coverage start date separately so payroll doesn’t auto-calculate penalties for the waived period.
  • Generate a compliance note (proof of amnesty, employer declaration, portal screenshot) and lock edits to prevent retroactive manipulation.
  • Apply contributions prospectively from the approved start date and track any exceptions in a monthly audit report.

A:

Paysquare doesn’t have a built-in Power BI connector out of the box, but you can export payroll data (reports, attendance, payslips, compliance summaries) or sync it via your HR/ERP system into Power BI for dashboards and deeper analytics; many teams use CSV/Excel exports or third-party connectors to feed Paysquare payroll and compliance data into Power BI for insights on costs, headcount trends, taxes, and payroll variances.

A:

  • Use an authorized EPFO or vetted third-party UAN verification API (sandbox first) to do real-time/batch checks, call the API and receive verification + transaction ID rather than scraping the portal. 
  • Transmit only minimal, non-recoverable identifiers (e.g., HMAC/hash of UAN or one-way token) to the API; never store raw Aadhaar or unmasked PII, persist only verification status, API transaction ID, timestamp and consent record. 
  • Design the flow: upload CSV → client/service hashes UANs → call vendor API in throttled batches → store only masked UAN/status/txn-ID → purge raw files and keep encrypted audit logs for compliance. Also keep an opt-in/consent record for each employee.
