ESI REGISTRATION

ESI Registration

Employees’ State Insurance refers to a self-financing social security and health insurance scheme for Indian workers. Under this scheme if employees are earning ₹15000 or less per month as wages, then the employer needs to contribute 4.75 percent and employee has to contribute 1.75 percent (total share 6.5 percent) to ESI. Besides ESI registration, TAN registration too is very essential.

Those employees who are registered under this scheme are entitled to medical treatment for themselves and their dependents. Introduction of Pehchan smart cards as a part of Project Panchdeep led to efficient use of technology for ESI.
