Online ESI Registration - An Overview

Employee State Insurance or ESI is a scheme commenced by the Government of India to offer medical, monetary and other advantages to workers. ESI is managed by an autonomous authority - Employee State Insurance Corporation – which lies under the jurisdiction of Ministry of Labour and Employment.

By law, any company that has more than 10 employees mandatorily need to have ESI. In some states, the number of employees is 20.
