ESIC litigation
ESIC litigation typically begins at the Employee Insurance Court (EI Court) constituted under Section 74 of the Act. From there, matters can proceed to the High Court on appeal. Many disputes turn on questions of fact about what constitutes "wages" under the Act, whether contract workers are covered, whether a particular establishment falls within the ambit of the legislation and these require careful factual and legal analysis.
Employers respond to ESIC
We help employers respond to ESIC inspections and notices correctly from the outset, contest incorrect demands before the EI Court, and structure employment arrangements in a way that is both compliant and commercially sensible.
ESIC penalties accumulate quickly and recover faster than most businesses expect. Acting early is always the right call.
