Applicability Of Workmen Compensation Act - DOC Download

Greetings of the day to all Cite HR members!
I have one question regarding Workmen Compensation applicability for the companies under Shops and Establishment Act.
If there are 35 employee in the company and out of these 35 employees 3 are covered under ESI then should the Company purchase Workmen Compensation Policy?
Is it mandatory?
Please advise.
Regards,
Anil

in case employees are covered under ESIC .. do we need to wc policy mandatory.

No. Even otherwise, if your unit is not covered under ESI & covered under EC Act then also you are not compelled to have WC policy ( EC policy). In one or two states by notification in official gazette it has been made compulsory to have EC policy.
