ESI Registration
What is ESI Registration & Why Does It Matter?
Governed by the Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), this scheme provides medical, financial, and social security benefits to employees earning up to ₹21,000 per month (₹25,000 for persons with disabilities).
Who Needs to Register for ESI?
If your business falls under any of these categories and meets the employee count threshold, you’re legally required to register for ESI:
- Factories & manufacturing units
- Shops & commercial establishments
- Hotels, restaurants (sales-only)
- Road transport businesses
- Newspaper & media firms
- Private medical & educational institutions
- Warehousing, airport authorities, NBFCs, and more
Even if you’re not mandated to register, doing so voluntarily can enhance your employer brand, showing employees you care about their financial security and well-being.
