Basis: Section 39(5)(a) charges simple interest at 12% per annum for every day of delay in remitting ESI dues. Regulation 31-C additionally charges damages on the arrears at a rate slab keyed to the length of default — up to 2 months: 5% p.a.; 2–4 months: 10% p.a.; 4–6 months: 15% p.a.; above 6 months: 25% p.a. — continued in practice under the Code on Social Security, 2020 pending final notification of its damages rules. Both interest and damages are computed on the same arrears amount for the same period of delay and are payable in addition to the arrears themselves.
