Workers Compensation (WC) in places where ESI is not applicable- rules and alternatives

Dear Sir, For areas not covered by ESI, should we take WC? Also, is WC mandatory? Is there any alternative apart from WC?

Dear The workmen which are not covered under the ESI Act,1948 & are covered under the Workmen's Compensation Act,1923 are entitled to have benefit under this Act from the employer but in this case it is not necessary to have WC policy as the employer may give compensation form his own account. They take WC policy to avoid any sudden liability on account of any mis-happening.Now it is up to you to have or have not any WC policy.

Dear Prem What Mr. Khosla has suggested is absolutely correct. I endorse his views. Regards
