Overview of ESI Registration

Employee State Insurance or ESI is a scheme commenced by the Government of India to offer medical, monetary, and other advantages to workers. ESI is managed by an autonomous authority – Employee State Insurance Corporation – which lies under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Labour and Employment.

By law, any company that has more than 10 employees mandatorily needs to have ESI. In some states, the number of employees is 20. For employees earning more than ₹21,000 per month, including basic salaries and dearness allowance, the insurance is deducted from their pay.

Also, taxpayers with a turnover of less than ₹1.5 crore can opt for the composition scheme to get rid of tedious GST formalities and pay GST at a fixed rate of turnover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answered by our experts

The law of India states that it is mandatory for every employee to register within ESI. It is considered a statutory responsibility. A factory or establishment has to apply for the scheme within 15 days from the date it becomes eligible.

To recognise each employee, the ESI scheme allots a unique identification number to every worker. This number is called the insurance number and is used for all operational purposes.

ESI forms can be filled online but they require exact information with no buffer for mistakes. Additionally, the application is long and exhaustive and requires meticulous attention to be filled accurately. At HSRAdvisory we ensure that no error is made and that the ESI New registration is completed as fast as possible and with no glitches. We make the procedure seamless and smooth for you.

Once a factory or establishment is recognised within the ESIC Act, it has to file ESI returns two times per year. For each return filed, the underlying documents have to be submitted:

  1. A register of wages
  2. A register of the attendance of employees
  3. A register of Form 6
  4. Challans and returns of every month
  5. A register of any accidents that may have occurred on the premises of the business.

ESIC (Employees' State Insurance Corporation) registration is mandatory for all establishments or factories having 10 or more employees, with wages of up to ₹21,000 per month. Both the employer and the employee contribute towards the ESIC scheme, which provides medical, disability, maternity, and other benefits to employees.
