Esic [Thread 253961]

Hi all,
I'm working in Mahindra World City SEZ. This area is not notified by ESI for coverage. We have a letter issued few years back by ESI stating the same.
Now we came to know that ESI will automatically come into force wherever PF
coverage is applicable.
Could anyone please let us know how to get the information whether our area is notified by ESI.

Your information about automatic coverage of ESI in establishments covered by EPF is wrong. If your area comes under ESI, separate notification will be issued by the ESI Corporation and since then only your establishment will become covered.
Your confusion might have come out of a notification issued by the Ministry of Labour introducing a 'combined challan' for remittance of EPF and ESI. As per the new system, a new challan which shows details of both ESI and EPF is to be used for remittance of ESI and EPF. It does not mean that in order to make remittance both ESI and EPF should be paid at a time. A new notification clarifying the same issued on 10th May states that employer can use it separately for ESI and EPF so as to avoid confusion with regard to date of payments of ESI and EPF (EP is to be paid on or before 15th whereas ESI can be paid till 20th)

Dear Sir,
Can we have the new notification issued on 10th may stated that employer can use the challan separately for ESI and EPF?
