EHRMIS PESSI Login, Signup and Password Reset Guide

Employers across Punjab keep searching for a clean way into EHRMIS PESSI Login, and that search is not a surprise. Our team observed the same pattern this week: units need to register workers, file contributions, and keep CNIC records current, yet several older web addresses are returning errors.

Our analysis suggests the portal name still matters even when a page is down. Industry insiders are noting that staff now split work between the historic employer system, the official PESSI site, and the PITB mobile app.

Key takeaways

• EHRMIS PESSI is the employer and worker-record system tied to Punjab Employees Social Security Institution.
• Several listed web addresses were not loading when we checked them on 28 September 2026.
• The official PESSI Employee Registration Android app remains the most reliable live channel for employers.

What is EHRMIS PESSI, and why do employers still need it?

Punjab Employees Social Security Institution (PESSI) is the provincial body set up under the Provincial Employees’ Social Security Ordinance, 1965. It sits under the Labour and Human Resource Department and covers secured workers plus their dependents.

EHRMIS PESSI grew out of that mandate. If you’ve been following Punjab labour compliance, this won’t come as a surprise: factories and shops with five or more employees must register and pay a 6% employer-only contribution on wages, subject to the notified ceiling.

The older contribution portal was known as the Contribution Portal’s Online Registration System. After signup, the focal person received a PESSI Registration Number and password by email, then added the business profile, owner details, and employee list.

We found that this is still how most accountants describe the workflow. Our team observed that newer welfare work, including ration-card data, now also runs through the PITB PESSI Employee Registration app.

PESSI benefits attached to a live record include:

• Medical care at Social Security hospitals, medical centres, dispensaries, and emergency centres after an R-5 card is issued
• Sickness, injury, maternity, disablement, survivor, and death-grant cash benefits
• Family cover for wife, children, and parents, with age limits that differ for sons and unmarried daughters

Complete treatment for heart disease, kidney disease, hepatitis, and several cancers is listed on PESSI’s own benefit pages. Private hospital care is allowed only on referral when a PESSI facility cannot provide the service.

Why are EHRMIS PESSI links failing right now?

We tested the addresses readers usually paste into Chrome. https://ehrmis.pessi.gop.pk/, admin_login, StepO, https://ehrmis-pessi.punjab.gov.pk/, and the main PESSI Punjab pages returned 503 errors during our check.

That does not mean the institution has closed. Indexed pages on the official PESSI site still list benefits, directorates, and the 0800 73774 contact line. Search engines also still hold older copies of contribution and FAQ pages.

Do not treat a 503 page as a login screen. Bookmarking a cached copy can send a password to the wrong place. Use the Android app or a confirmed PESSI desk until the web portal is stable again.

Alternate official channels that still have a public footprint:

• PESSI Employee Registration on Google Play, published by the Punjab Information Technology Board, last updated 11 December 2025, 10K+ downloads
• Labour-and-PESSI registration through the Punjab business one-window process at business.punjab.gov.pk
• PESSI public information pages that describe online contribution payment through banks, mobile wallets, internet banking, and ATMs

We will not publish a live hyperlink to a domain that failed our check. That is the only honest way to keep this page useful.

Who can create an EHRMIS PESSI account?

Open signup is not for the general public. The system is built for:

• Employers / business entities that must register under PESSI
• Focal persons named by the owner to file contributions
• Admin and hospital staff on internal paths such as admin_login and StepO
• Registered employers updating worker data for welfare schemes, including the Maryam Nawaz Ration Card drive

A worker does not self-register the way a shopper opens an e-commerce account. The employer adds the CNIC, wage type, skill level, and employment type. The worker then receives an R-5 card from the local PESSI office once the record is accepted.

Establishments that usually must register include sole proprietors, single-member companies, private limited companies, and public limited companies with five or more employees. PBIT guidance says a registration number can be allotted within about two days when the one-window form is complete.

How do you complete EHRMIS PESSI signup?

Use this sequence when the web portal is up, or when a PESSI desk walks you through the same fields. Keep NTN, business address, and employee CNICs ready before you start.

1. Open a current browser. Chrome is the safest choice for most government forms.
2. Go to the employer registration screen used by PESSI. If the historic EHRMIS PESSI page is down, use the Punjab business portal path for Labour and PESSI.
3. Choose Register / New User. Enter a valid mobile number and email.
4. Activate the account with the OTP or security code sent to that phone and inbox.
5. Fill the business entity form: institution name, representative, address, phone, start date, business type, and headcount (permanent, temporary, contractual).
6. Add the owner profile and the focal person who will receive the PESSI number.
7. Submit. Wait for the PESSI Registration Number and password on the focal person’s email.
8. After first login, open Business Entity → Profile and confirm owner, focal person, and health-facility details.
9. Create the POC profile if the form asks for a point of contact.
10. Click Add New Employee for Contribution and enter name, father name, gender, and CNIC.
11. Add employment detail: designation, skill level, employment type, wage type, payment frequency, and wage rate.
12. Save each worker. Do not leave a half-filled row; incomplete CNIC data blocks later contribution files.

On the official app, signup is shorter. Download PESSI Employee Registration from Google Play, open Secure Employer Login, and use the credentials already issued to the registered unit. New workers can then be added with name, CNIC, contact, and employment status.

Documents employers should keep nearby:

• NTN / business registration
• Owner and focal-person CNICs
• Employee CNIC list with issue and expiry dates
• Mobile numbers that actually receive SMS
• Latest wage sheet for the contribution month

How do you log in to EHRMIS PESSI?

Login is different for employers, admins, and app users. Do not mix those screens.

Employer web login

1. Open the Employer Login screen when the portal is available.
2. Type the PESSI Registration Number, not a personal Gmail address.
3. Enter the password emailed to the focal person, or the password you set after first login.
4. Complete any captcha if it appears.
5. Click Login.
6. Land on the dashboard and open Business Entity first. Confirm the unit name before you touch contribution files.
7. Use Monthly Contribution → Submit only after the employee list is clean.

Admin and internal staff

Admin users go through a separate staff screen, historically labelled admin_login. StepO looks like an internal workflow step, not a public signup page. Those accounts are issued by PESSI or PITB, not self-created.

App login

1. Install PESSI Employee Registration by Punjab Information Technology Board.
2. Open the app and tap Secure Employer Login.
3. Enter the registered employer ID and password.
4. Review the dashboard count of added and updated workers.
5. Update CNIC, mobile number, and card dates, or register a new employee.

Our team observed that the app is the channel that still behaves like a live product. It supports offline entry and syncs when the phone is back online, which matters in factory offices with weak internet.

What should you do if you forgot the EHRMIS PESSI password?

There is no public, always-on reset page we could verify today. Treat password recovery as an official request, not a guess.

1. Check the focal person’s email for the original PESSI Registration Number and password mail.
2. Search the inbox for PESSI, EHRMIS, contribution portal, and the unit’s old registration number.
3. If the web screen shows Forgot Password, enter the registered email or registration number and wait for an OTP. Do not use an unregistered personal mailbox.
4. If no reset link appears, call 0800 73774, the number printed on PESSI public pages.
5. For ration-card employee data issues, try 1105 (PESSI – Maryam Nawaz Ration Card) listed on the Punjab helpline directory.
6. Labour and HR queries can go to 1314.
7. Ask the local PESSI directorate to reset the focal-person account. Lahore City, for example, is listed at 21-X, Huma Block, Hafeez Tayab Road, Allama Iqbal Town, with phone 042-99332630.
8. After a reset, change the password at first login and store it with the registration certificate, not on a shared WhatsApp group.

Never share the admin password on unofficial Facebook pages that promise a “quick unlock.” Those pages collect CNICs and do not sit inside PESSI.

What can you do after a successful login?

Once the unit is inside EHRMIS PESSI or the app, the daily work is record hygiene. Wrong mobile numbers are the reason ration cards and benefit SMS fail.

Core tasks we see employers complete:

• Update CNIC issue and expiry dates
• Correct worker mobile numbers
• Add new joiners before the contribution month closes
• Mark employment status when a worker leaves
• Prepare the monthly contribution file
• Upload the Excel sheet in the format PESSI samples (XLS / XLSX / XLTX) when the contribution module is open
• Pay through ADC channels: mobile app, internet banking, or ATM, then keep the acknowledgement

PESSI’s own pages say the online contribution system calculates the amount, tracks submissions, and issues a receipt. That cuts the old habit of standing in a local office only to file a monthly sheet.

If the web upload fails, keep a signed print pack ready: employee list, CNIC copies, and the last paid challan. A directorate clerk can still post the month while the portal is offline.

How does EHRMIS PESSI connect to hospitals and HMIS?

PESSI is not only a contribution desk. It runs a hospital network that PITB has been digitising for several years.

Public reports from 2021 onward described a Hospital Information / Management System covering OPD tickets, indoor wards, laboratory, pharmacy, billing, and HR rosters. By 2023, PITB said HMIS was live in 17 PESSI hospitals and 16 specialised hospitals, with millions of OPD visits and a unique medical record number for each patient.

Rehmatul-Lil-Alameen Institute of Cardiology (RAIC) on Multan Road is the flagship cardiac unit. PITB enabled online lab-report download for RAIC patients through that hospital stack.

EHRMIS PESSI and hospital HMIS are related but not the same login. One file proves the worker is secured; the other file is the clinical chart. Mixing those passwords is a common mistake on factory WhatsApp groups.

What mistakes block login and contribution filing?

We keep seeing the same five errors:

• Typing a personal email instead of the PESSI Registration Number
• Using an old http:// bookmark that no longer resolves
• Uploading a contribution sheet with duplicate or invalid CNICs
• Leaving the focal person phone dead, so OTP never arrives
• Asking a worker to “sign up” on a random website that only copies the PESSI logo

Bold rule: only the employer account should create worker rows. Italic reminder: a secured person still needs the R-5 card from the local office before routine OPD, except in a true emergency.

FAQs

Is EHRMIS PESSI the same as iHRMS Punjab?
No. iHRMS is the provincial government employee HR system. EHRMIS PESSI is the social-security employer and worker-record stack for private and industrial units registered with PESSI.

Can a worker log in and download a payslip?
Not on this portal. The worker’s proof of cover is the R-5 card and the PESSI hospital record. Cash benefits now also move through PESSI’s separate Cash Benefit Android app.

What if my family lives in another city?
PESSI FAQs say dependents can be treated at the outlet linked to their location after the record is updated. Call 0800 73774 before you travel with an old card.

Are contribution rates still 6% in Punjab?
Employer guides in 2026 still list PESSI at 6% of wages up to the notified ceiling, paid by the employer only. Confirm the current ceiling with the local directorate before you file.

Which app is official?
PESSI Employee Registration, developer Punjab Information Technology Board, package pk.pitb.gov.PESSI. Ignore copycat APKs sent on WhatsApp.

What number should I call today?
Start with 0800 73774. Use 1105 for ration-card data and 1314 for Labour and HR. Write your registration number down before you dial.

Bottom line from our newsroom

EHRMIS PESSI is still the name employers use for Punjab social-security records, even on a day when the old domain returns 503. Our analysis suggests the durable path is: keep the PESSI number safe, update workers on the official PITB app, and file contributions through the channel your directorate confirms this month.

We will not send readers into a dead login form. Use the app, the helpline, and the local PESSI office until the web screens load cleanly again.
