We have got ESI code for our H.O. at Varanasi. But we are also having our branches all over India, where we deduct ESI from our employees wages and deposit ESI amount through challans (sometimes in our clients ESI account and some times in our code). My question is that whether centralised ESI code can be applied for to enable us to deposit ESI of all our branches in one code OR ESI code varies from state to state? Please advise.
