ESI Registration
Protect your workforce with Employee State Insurance – mandatory for businesses employing 10 or more workers.
ESIC Registration is compulsory for employers employing 10 or more workers (threshold may vary by state), under the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948. This registration provides a social security scheme that offers medical, maternity, sickness, and disability benefits to employees earning a monthly wage of ₹21,000 or less.
Managed by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) under the Ministry of Labour, this scheme ensures employees receive health coverage while reducing the employer’s liability in case of medical emergencies.
At Kanoons, we help businesses register for ESIC quickly and ensure compliance with all relevant provisions.
