Overview

Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) is a legally independent organization under the purview of the Indian Government’s Ministry of Labour and Employment. The Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) is a sophisticated social security program offering socio-economic security to organized workers. It protects employees against sickness, maternity, disablement, and death due to work-related injuries and provides medical care to insured employees and their families.

Enrolling qualified workers in the ESIC program is the employer’s responsibility. The contributions are determined by the employee’s ability to earn a fixed percentage of their wage, but they are impartially granted social security benefits depending on their unique requirements.

Benefits of ESI registration

Providing medical care

When necessary, the program offers the insured person protection by the laws and their relatives, medical support, and treatment. Except for Delhi, the state government provides the benefit via Model Hospitals maintained by ESIC. It is not based on an employee’s income or contributions.

Maternity Benefits

Pregnant women eligible for up to 26 weeks of benefits are the target audience. Under medical advice, the abovementioned time may be extended for 30 days. Employees must have contributed 70 days’ worth of pay or salary in the two prior contribution periods to be eligible for the benefit.

Injury Benefits

Employees with disabilities can receive 90% of their monthly earnings as disability payments.

Illness Supports

One can take sick leave for up to 91 days per year with 70% of their monthly salary.

Dependent Supports

In a sudden death, the deceased employee’s dependents will get 90% of their monthly wage while employed.

Vocational Rehabilitation

Employees with physical disabilities who are covered by insurance have the right to participate in vocational rehabilitation programs.

Cremation Expenses

The family of the dead employee receives an additional 10,000/- for funeral costs.

Old Age Medical Care

Medical care benefits are guaranteed for retiring ESI employees or those choosing VRS/ERS for a yearly payment of ₹120.

Confinement Expenses

When an insured woman or an employee’s wife becomes confined in a location without access to medical services, the ESI program allows for reimbursing confinement expenditures.

Unemployment compensation

If there is an accident-related permanent disability or involuntary job loss, the program will pay up to 50% of the average monthly wage for 24 months.

Compliances after ESCI registration

  • If applicable, a registration certificate or license is granted under the Shops and Establishments Act or the Factories Act. The government will issue a unique 17-digit number following the form’s authentication.
  • The ESIC will be informed of any changes to the company or its personnel with evidence in favour of the start date of the production/business and information about each employee’s pay.
  • The employee enrolled on this program must submit to the employer a completed registration form along with photographs of his immediate family to be registered.
  • Upon registration, ESI Returns must be submitted twice a year. A list of the company’s directors or shareholders is also included, as well as registration of attendance for the staff.

The return needs to be filled out after ESIC registration.

Following registration under the ESIC, the employer will collect ESI every month, with payment due by the fifteenth of the following month. Any organization/company registered with ESIC must submit half-yearly and annual returns. While filing the ESIC yearly report, the department must be notified of every change to an employee that occurred throughout the year.

When submitting returns, the monthly Chillan copy must be included, and the employee register must contain all relevant information about contributions made. A record of wages, an attendance log, an inspection log, etc., must be kept on file by the establishment.
