What is ESI Registration?
The Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948 provides a comprehensive social security scheme for workers. The Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) administers this scheme, providing medical care, sickness benefits, maternity benefits, disablement benefits, and dependent benefits to insured employees and their families. Registration is mandatory for non-seasonal factories and establishments employing 10 or more persons (in states where the threshold is 10; some states still apply 20). Only employees earning up to ₹21,000 per month (₹25,000 for persons with disabilities) are covered. The employer contributes 3.25% and the employee contributes 0.75% of wages, totalling 4% of gross wages each month.
ESI Contribution Rates
| Party | Rate | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Employer | 3.25% | Gross wages of covered employees |
| Employee | 0.75% | Gross wages (deducted from salary) |
| New Employer (incentive) | 0% | First 3 years for new factories/establishments |
Employee Benefits Under ESI
- Medical benefit — cashless medical care for employee and entire family at ESIC facilities
- Sickness benefit — 70% of daily wages for up to 91 days per year
- Maternity benefit — full wages for 26 weeks (and 6 weeks for miscarriage)
- Disablement benefit — 90% of wages for temporary or permanent disability
- Dependent benefit — 60% of wages per month to dependents on employee's death
- Funeral expenses — ₹15,000 lump sum to family on insured person's death
