Dear Suman,

* First U have to decide whether Ur unit is in the implemented area or

not;
* If Ur Unit is in implemented area, immediately u apply for ESI by
submitting the Form-01 form (which can be downloaded from the
cite ESIC - Headquarters' Office) along with necessary documentary
evidences, wherever it is needed, to the Regional Office concerned;
* Then u will be alloted 17 digit ESI Code No. to ur unit, which is
permanent no. to ur unit;

Once ur unit got the ESI Code No., next duty is to register ur employees:

* U have to submit the Declaration Forms in respect of all ur employees
who are drawing 15000= or less than 15000=, whether they are
temporary/casual/permanet/daily etc., to the concerned Branch Office;
* Branch Office will allot the Insurance Nos. to all the employees and
provide a temporary card, which will be valid for 3 months from the date
of their appointment, in case if they cross 3 months, u can request for
providing permanent card;
*Every month from the data of attandance and wages registers, u have
to maintain a Register of employees under the ESI Act, i.e. Form-6,
based on it, u have to pay the ESI Contribution Everymonth before 21st
of the following month;
*Every 6 months u have to submit Half yearly returns, Form-5 to the
concerned Branch Office;
*Every Year u have to submit annual returns on or before 31st of
January in Form-01(A) form;


Under ESI Act... U have to maintain the following records:

i. Attendance Register;
ii. Wages Register;
iii. Form-6 Register;
iv. Accident Register;
v. Inspection Book & vi. File containing all ur monthly challans & returns
submitted..

apart from the above register.. u are bound to produce the following
records on demand to the Insurance Inspector during his inspection:
* All books of accounts, such as P&L Account, Balance Sheet and its
annexures; Cash Book/Bank Book and all concerned Bills & Vourchers
and etc.,
* Further if u are having any of the immediate employers, such as
contractors, security personnels, u have to confirm about their
compliance under ESI before settling of their monthly bill... as being
Principle employer u will held responsible for their default.

I think u r getting bore of such lengthy post... hence i am stopping for
now.........

to ...

If ur strong enough about ESI, then ur employees & their families will be
benefited through such wonderful social security scheme..
