ESIC Registration

ESIC Registration in India
ESI Reg — That Keeps Your Workforce Protected

ESIC Registration is mandatory for establishments employing 10 or more employees under the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948. Employees earning up to ₹21,000 per month (₹25,000 for persons with disabilities) are covered and receive medical, sickness, maternity, disability, and dependent benefits. Contributions are shared between the employer (3.25%) and employee (0.75%).

For companies incorporated through SPICe+, ESIC registration is issued automatically during incorporation. We provide end-to-end support for employer registration, employee IP registration, contribution filing, return filing, and ongoing ESIC compliance.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

By subscribing to any of the above plans, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully before proceeding.

  1. Government Fee: ESIC Registration government fee is NIL under the ESIC unified portal. Our fee covers professional services — advisory, Form 1 drafting, portal filing, Insurance Number (IP) generation, family declaration capture, and post-registration support.
  2. GST on Our Fee: All quoted prices are exclusive of GST @ 18%, charged at checkout.
  3. Mandatory Registration Trigger: ESIC Registration is mandatory under Section 1(5) of the ESI Act, 1948 once your non-seasonal establishment has 10 or more employees (20 in certain states — we verify on the discovery call). Registration must be filed within 15 days of crossing the threshold.
  4. Wage Threshold for Mandatory Coverage: Employees earning gross wages up to ₹21,000 / month are mandatorily covered under ESIC (₹25,000 for persons with disabilities). Employees earning above ₹21,000 are not covered, even if they want to opt in — the cap is statutory.
  5. Contribution Rates (FY 2025-26): Employer contribution 3.25% of gross wages. Employee contribution 0.75% of gross wages. Total 4% of gross wages, deducted monthly and remitted by the 15th of next month.
  6. Employee Capacity per Plan: Elemental covers IP generation for up to 10 employees. Enriched up to 10–30 employees. Supreme up to 30–50 employees. Additional employees beyond plan limits shall be decided upon negotiation.
  7. Monthly Compliance Out-of-Scope: Plans do NOT include ongoing monthly contribution filing (beyond the included first-1 walkthrough in Enriched / first-3 in Supreme), annual returns, grievance handling, benefit claim assistance for individual employees, Section 45A determination representation, or Inspector visits / inquiries. These are billed under our monthly Payroll Compliance retainer (starting ₹1,999 / month for ESIC only).
  8. Out-of-Scope Items: Sub-code registration for branches (quoted separately), inter-state contractor compliance, Atal Bimit Vyakti Kalyan Yojana / RGSKY claim assistance for terminated employees, ESIC inspection representation, Section 75 cases (Insurance Court matters), Section 85 prosecution defence, and conversion of exempted to unexempted establishment are not included and quoted separately on request.
ESIC Registration by Legal Terminus

Legal Terminus Priority

ESIC Registration looks deceptively simple — until an Aadhaar mismatch blocks an Insurance Number at generation, or a wrong family declaration leaves an employee's dependent ineligible for medical benefits at the moment they need it most. Details that seem minor at the filing stage become compliance failures during inspections or employee grievances. LT Priority is a premium, fast-track service where a senior payroll expert owns your file end-to-end — from Form 1 submission to your first successful monthly contribution clearing without a rejection.

What you get

  • 5-day SLA on Employer Code — Employer Code targeted for allotment within 5 working days of complete document submission.
  • Same-day file review and submission — documents verified and application submitted to ESIC on the same working day.
  • 🔄Senior Payroll-expert ownership — one senior expert handles your file from Form 1 to final Employer Code, with full accountability.
  • 📞IP generation and family declaration within 3 days of Employer Code — all covered employees registered and dependants declared without delay.
  • 📑Priority helpdesk — 4-hour response — any ESIC query or compliance issue addressed within 4 business hours.

Important Notes

  • Once your headcount touches 10, you have 15 days to register. Delayed registration attracts interest under Section 39(5) + damages under Section 85B — up to 25% of arrears. Don't wait until an Inspector visit catches you.
  • Family declaration matters more than people think. Dependants listed in the declaration are eligible for ESIC medical benefits + dependants' benefit (90% wages) in case of employment-related death. Wrong declaration = denied claims. We capture this carefully for every covered employee.
  • ESIC coverage is geographic — implemented in stages. Some new industrial estates / Tier-3 cities may not yet be notified. If you're in an un-notified area but voluntarily covered, scope can be limited. We verify notified-area status before filing.
  • ESIC wage threshold (₹21,000) hasn't been revised since January 2017 — and is widely expected to be increased. When it is, more employees will become covered overnight without separate notification. Plan your payroll structure with this expansion risk in mind.
