Introduction
Employees State Insurance (ESI) is a self-funded social security and health insurance programme for Indian workers. Employers with 10 or more employees are required to register for ESI. Employers must contribute 4.75 % and employees must contribute 1.75 % to ESI for any employees earning Rs. 15,000 or less per month in compensation.
The ESI fund is handled by the ESI Corporation (ESI), which manages the provision of medical and cash benefits to employees and their families through a huge network of branch offices, dispensaries, and hospitals across India, in accordance with the ESI Act 1948.
ESI is a government of India-owned corporation that is under the Ministry of Labor and Employment. Those who have registered for ESI must subsequently file ESI returns. Returns on ESI are due half yearly.
