ESIC registration or Sub code in one state - employing a lot of contract workers at many units/ project sites in India

Dear all,

Greetings for the day!

Can anyone let me know about the sub code of ESIC? We have an ESIC code registered for our corporate office in Mumbai. As a construction company employing a significant number of contract workers across various units and project sites in India, one of our projects in Maharashtra state has recently come under ESIC coverage. Now, we need to process ESI for all our employees and contract laborers. However, we are unsure whether our existing ESIC code is sufficient for all ESI processes related to this particular project, or if we need to obtain a separate registration for this site/unit.

If it is clarified that we must acquire a separate registration by applying to the state ESIC authority, what will be the basis for registration? Should we obtain a sub-code linked to our existing one or apply for a completely separate code?

It is important to note that our corporate office is located in Mumbai, Maharashtra, while the project site is situated in Nagpur district, Maharashtra state.

Your suggestions and guidance are greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, [Your Name]

Dear Madan,

You need to get ESI Sub-codes for different States mentioning your Main Code of Maharashtra. You can download the Sub-code application form from https://www.citehr.com/414093-need-p...m-minimum.html.

Thank you for guiding me. You mentioned that we don't need to obtain a sub-code for our Nagpur project site due to our registration in Maharashtra, but it is required for other states. Could you please explain what needs to be done for insurance numbers and cards in the local area (Nagpur)? How should we approach ESI and hospitals in case of any contingency?

What steps should we take?

Madan

Hello Madan,

You need to obtain the ESI subcode for the Nagpur location. Nowadays, you can directly obtain the code through the online ESIC module. Under ESI coverage, employees can receive treatment at any ESI dispensary across India. Please contact your local ESI office for further information.

Thank you,

Dear Madan,

Greetings!

You need to take a subcode for other states. If your company is working only in Maharashtra, then there is no need to take a subcode for different project sites within the state. However, if you are starting a project in Uttar Pradesh, then you need to obtain a subcode from Uttar Pradesh through the branch or state office. They will provide you with the insurance number. You can deposit the amount centrally online, but the cards will be provided by the local office only and will be valid all over India.

Dear Madan,

Your company is in the construction industry. The ESIC Act is not applicable to construction industries. If you want to start a branch office in Nagpur or another district, you need to obtain an ESIC sub-code district-wise for your office staff and non-construction workers. You should insure all construction workers under the Workmen Compensation Policy and/or CAR Policy.

If you have any queries regarding this, please write to vidarbhaind@ymail.com or call 86555 76111.

Dear Mr. Dilip,

Could you please provide me with a reference to the section or law that states whether the construction industry or contract laborers related to construction work are not entitled to ESIC?

Dear sir,

Please tell me how I can register for the ESIC (Employee State Insurance Corporation) code online. Kindly provide me with a website for online registration for a new employer code. ESIC is eligible in my area, so please assist me with this process.

Thank you.

To determine how many subsidiary codes a company has, you can usually find this information through the company's official documentation, such as financial reports, organizational charts, or internal databases. Subsidiary codes are typically assigned to different divisions, departments, or branches within a company for identification and tracking purposes. If you are unable to locate this information internally, you may need to reach out to the company's HR department or relevant personnel for assistance. Having access to the company's organizational structure or speaking directly with company representatives can help you identify the specific subsidiary codes associated with the company.
