Employers State Insurance is an insurance scheme provided by the government to financially protect the employees in case of disability or death due to employment injury, maternity, and sickness.
This scheme is governed by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) regulated under the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948. However, only members who have subscribed to this scheme are entitled to these benefits.
Both PF and ESI require monthly deposits after calculation and deduction of wages. This process requires close attention and regular maintenance since the companies cannot afford errors. Companies are required to maintain records of the employees’ salaries and their schemes so as to carefully analyse and arrive at a final amount that needs to be deposited into PF and ESI.
