ESIC Registration

The Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 was enacted by the legislature as an integrated need based on the social insurance scheme. ESIC stands for Employee State Insurance Corporation which is an autonomous body created by the Ministry of Labor and Employment that governs and regulates the Employee State Insurance in India. Employee State Insurance is a self-financing social security scheme, initiated for the benefits of the Indian workers by providing them with the necessary benefits such as medical facility, monetary facilities and such other benefits from his employer.
