Overview of ESI Scheme
The Employees' State Insurance (ESI) scheme provides medical care, sickness benefits, maternity benefits, disability compensation, and financial protection to employees working in eligible establishments. Under the ESI Act, employers with the prescribed number of employees are required to register their establishment and contribute to the ESIC scheme.
Both employers and employees contribute to the scheme, enabling workers and their families to access healthcare and social security benefits. SNR Dot Law provides professional assistance with ESIC registration, documentation, and compliance for businesses across India.
