Resigning Under the ESIC Scheme: What Formalities Should Employees Follow?

Actually, I want to know whether there are any formalities to be done if any resignation takes place in any organization of the employees who are covered under the ESIC Scheme. If there are any forms to be submitted, please let me know.

As per my knowledge, there are no specific forms for employees who have resigned and are covered under the ESI scheme. When filing the half-yearly returns, the authorities will automatically be informed that the employee has left the organization on a particular date.

Half-yearly returns cover the period from 1st April to 30th September (first half) and from 1st October to 31st March. The forms need to be submitted in quadruplicate to the local ESI office along with a challan of the monthly returns, which should be in your records. It is advisable to verify with a senior experienced person as I am unsure if any amendments have been made. I am currently not based in India, so please ensure to confirm the latest procedures.

Hope your issue gets resolved. Keep in touch!

Dear Amit,

As Mr. Sadashiv Rao said, there is no form required to be submitted with ESIC authorities upon the relieving of a person who is covered under the ESI scheme.

In the Half-year return "Return of Contribution" Form No. 6, there is a Col. No. 7A which states, "Whether still continues working & drawing wages within the insurable wage ceiling." Under this column, you have to mention "NO." Additionally, under Column 8 of Form No. 6, under "Remarks," you are required to declare the "Date of Leaving" of the employee.

The information as declared by the employer in Form 6 regarding the leaving of insurable employment by an employee will be forwarded by the Local ESIC office to the concerned ESI dispensary for necessary updates.

Then, as you said Amit, if we fill up the particulars, will the employee automatically receive the benefit of ESIC (money) or how?

Dear Member,

At the time of submission of the Half-yearly return (Form-6) for that contribution period, you are required to mention in the remarks column against the name of the employee as "(d-Deleted)."
