About ESIC Registration & Returns
ESIC gives your employees medical care, sickness and maternity benefits, and gives you statutory protection for employee injury and illness. The scheme comes with registration within a fixed period, monthly contributions and reporting. We register your establishment, onboard your staff and handle the monthly cycle.
What is ESIC Registration & Returns?
The Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) runs a social security scheme under the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948, covering medical, sickness, maternity, disablement and dependants' benefits for eligible employees. Employers and employees each pay a fixed percentage of wages every month.
Each insured employee gets an Insurance Number (IP number), and the establishment gets a 17-digit employer code. Contributions are paid on the ESIC portal every month and returns are submitted in line with the portal's contribution period. Employee benefits are accessed through ESIC hospitals and dispensaries and empanelled providers.
