What is ESI Registration?
The Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) scheme is a self-financing social security and health insurance scheme managed by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India.
It provides medical, monetary, and other benefits to employees in case of sickness, maternity, disablement, or death due to employment injury. ESI registration is mandatory for all establishments employing 10 or more workers (in some states, 20 or more), where employees earn a monthly wage of up to ₹21,000 (₹25,000 for persons with disabilities).
The ESI scheme ensures complete health coverage and financial protection for employees and their dependents, making it one of India’s most important employee welfare programs.

ESI Registration is mandatory for the following:
- Every factory with 10 or more employees.

- Establishments employing workers earning less than ₹21,000 per month (₹25,000 for disabled employees).
