ESI Scheme is basically a self-finance comprehensive scheme which has been launched to safeguard the financial distress of the employees arising out of the events of sickness, disability or any kind of employment injuries that may lead to death. To protect the employees from such uncertainties, the ESIC (Employee’s State Insurance Corporation) has been set up under the ESI Act 1948, which is responsible for the administration of the ESI scheme. In this article, we will discuss how to log in the ESIC portal and what are the services offered by it.
The ESIC portal provides a wide range of services in order to ensure hassle-free services to the employers and beneficiaries. Its services include ESI registration, online payments, information sharing, grievance redressal, and support to name a few. There are Bilingual information website i.e “www.esic.nic.in” and Service Website “www.esic.in” which being operated already.
However, there is no upper ceiling on medical care expenditure for the beneficiaries.
Employers who are coverable as per the ESI Act must register online within 15 days at www.esic.in. As soon as they will be registered successfully, they will get 17 digits of unique employer code. There is no need for fresh registration if the employer is already having this 17-digit code. Rather, he/she can get sub-codes generated in respect of its branches.
