What is ESI Registration

The Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) Scheme is managed by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Labour & Employment. This social security initiative provides comprehensive socio-economic protection for employees in registered establishments. Benefits include medical care, sickness, maternity, disability, and other welfare support for employees and their dependents. The scheme is self-financed, with contributions from both employers and employees. Employers liable under the ESI Act must complete registration online via the official government portal.
