ESI registration is the process to obtain and get coverage under ESI or Employees State Insurance Scheme, which is a well-known social security benefit imlemented by the Indian Government as per the ESI Act, 1948. ESI is managed by ESIC or Employees State Insurance Corporation and It’s an autonomous division supervised by the law under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India. The ESI Scheme protects employees against death or disability due to employment sickness, maternity and injury. To provide medical care and other benefits, the employer need to get ESI registration then after register the eligible employees for the scheme. This is a scheme in which employers and employees must pay regular monthly contributions to the ESI Scheme via challan at a prescribed percentage of their wages as per the ESI Act.

What is ESI Registration ?
Under the ESI Act, ESIC has created separate registration procedure for both employee and employer which is changed from time to time to simplify the registration procedure. Once the employer registers his business under ESI Act, it provides adequate facilities to the employee to avail ESI benefits ensuring their well-being and financial security. It is mandatory for the companies which match the eligibility criteria of ESI to get ESI registration without any delay. ESI registration acts as a form of social security, a low-cost insurance scheme that allows employees to receive medical and financial benefits for themselves and their families and helps them improve their standard of living.
What are the main benefits of ESI Registration in India?
The advantages of ESI registration in India are as follows:
Legal requirement
Most businesses in India are required to comply with and maintain records under the ESI Act as per its applicability. If any company fails or ignores this, the ESIC office can take action against them by imposing penalties.
Employee Welfare
The scheme provides comprehensive benefits to the employees by ensuring their social security and enhancing their overall welfare so that employees may work stress-free and receive support from this scheme.
Financial Support
ESI provides money and medical support during health-related emergencies, such as illness, maternity and disability, thereby reducing the financial burden on employees and their families.
Medical Benefits
Under ESI scheme, insured employees and their families can avail comprehensive medical treatment i.e. full medical care, surgical procedures, dental care, super specialty treatment, diagnostic services, family planning services, Immunization and Vaccination and Medical Referrals.
Dependant benefits
ESI also provides a dependent benefit. This benefit ensures that if the insured person suddenly passes away, their dependents will continue to receive a monthly pension as financial support for the outcome of this unexpected situation.
Old age medical care
ESI also provides old-age medical care for retired employees who have contributed to ESI for at least 5 years during their working period. These employees are eligible for old-age care and can avail of all the medical benefits covered under ESI by paying just Rs 120 per year.
What are the objectives of ESI ?
On April 19, 1948, the Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) Act was enacted, establishing the ESI scheme. The ESI Act of 1948 replaced the earlier Ordinance. ESI is a non-constitutional organisation aimed at providing social security benefits to employees. The management of ESI is overseen by the Ministry of Labour and Employment of the Indian government and they continuously work to prove better services to the insured employees and their families.
The objectives of ESIC in India are as follows:
- Health Protection: To provide complete medical care to employees and their families, ensuring their health and well-being without financial hardship.
- Financial Security: To offer financial assistance during illness, maternity, disability and death, safeguarding employees and their families against financial distress.
- Social Security: ESI working continuously on various projects and work models to provide social or economic security cover to the employees. The main objective is to enhance the quality of life of the employees or to bring stability in their income.
- Productive Workforce: The ESI objective is to reduce health-related absenteeism of employees and ensure a healthy workforce. The scheme also aims to increase overall productivity and efficiency linked to employees and establishments.
- Increase Coverage of ESI: ESIC is rapidly working on projects to reduce non-implemented areas and expand the availability of its organisation, dispensary and hospital across all areas and districts of India so that all employees can benefit from the scheme.
- Low Contribution Rate: In the last few years, ESIC has lowered the amount of money that employees and employers have to pay for ESI. Earlier, it was 6% of the employee's salary, but now it is only 4%. It is expected to be reduced even further in the future to make it easier for people to afford.
