Understanding ESIC Forms: What's the Difference Between Form 12 and Form 16 and When to Use Them?

Difference Between ESIC Form 12 and ESIC Form 16

Please tell me the difference between ESIC Form 12 and ESIC Form 16. When should these forms be used?

ESIC Form 16: Accident Report

ESIC Form 16 is the accident report that must be filled within 24 hours of the accident. It is only required for employees who were injured during work hours and not otherwise. Form 16 includes all information related to the accident occurrence and its causes, as well as details of any witnesses to the accident.

No, I think it is wrong. Now, the Form 16 is known as Form 12 as I have seen that both have almost the same format, and Regulation 68 is mentioned in both. Please confirm if I am correct.

Thank you.

You are right, it was before that the Accident Report was Form 16. However, in the ESIC guides, it is still referred to as Form 16. For further information, you can look into the attachments. I hope it helps.
