How ESI scheme is helpful to an employee?

This scheme is specially designed by the government to provide full medical and financial assistance to the employee who is registered under the ESI Act. This scheme helps the employee to get compensation for the loss of his/her wage during his/her absence from work due to sickness, health issues, maternity, or employment inquiry. The benefits listed in the scheme extend to the insured person’s family members also.

Why this scheme is called a Self-Funding Scheme?

The scheme is primarily designed out of contributions made by employer & employee every month at a fixed percentage of the salary paid. Under this scheme, State Government also contributes 1/8th Share of the total cost of Medical Assistance.

What if the salary of an employee exceeds Rs. 21000/- in a month, will he be still covered under a scheme, or the contribution from both sides will stop?

No, the scheme will remain enforced till he continues to be part of the same organization irrespective of the fact that he/ she is earning more salary than 21000/- per month.

After registering under ESIC Scheme, is there any unique number allotted to the employee?

To verify the details of the employee, the ESI Scheme issues a Unique Identification number to each employee or worker which is called an Insurance number and the same can be used for all operational purposes.

What is the eligibility criteria for ESI Registration in India?

The universal rule to be qualified for ESI (Employees’ State Insurance) registration is to have 10 or more employees/workers. However, in a few states and regions, ESI is applicable only if there are more than 20 employees.

As an employer in how many days I should get ESIC Registration after falling under the eligibility criteria of this scheme?

Once the company/entity falls under the eligibility criteria, the registration needs to be taken within 15 days from the date it becomes eligible. This is the statutory responsibility of the shop/establishment or an entity.

Which are the essential documents required to maintain for filing ESI Returns?

There are few documents that an entity registered under ESIC Scheme needs to maintain regularly for filing ESI returns. They are as under:
1. Attendance register
2. Form 6
3. Register of wages
4. Register of any accidents on the premises
5. Inspection book
