Overview
The Employees' State Insurance scheme gives covered employees and their families medical care and cash benefits during sickness, maternity, disablement and employment injury. Since 21 November 2025, the scheme is governed by the Code on Social Security, 2020, which replaced the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948. It generally applies to establishments employing ten or more people in areas where the scheme is implemented, and covers employees whose wages are within the ceiling ESIC notifies.
Employers register online on ESIC's portal, register each eligible employee, and pay contributions every month. ESIC has asked every establishment that meets the Code's criteria to register itself and its eligible employees.
Our team checks whether the scheme applies to you, completes the registration, registers your employees and can handle the monthly contributions.
Who needs it
- Establishments with ten or more employees in areas where ESI is implemented
- Companies registered through SPICe+ that need to activate their ESIC registration
