ESI Accident on First Day: What Forms Are Needed Without an Insurance Number?

Forms Required for ESI Accident Case

Which forms should be submitted in an ESI accident case if an employee gets injured badly on the very first day of their duty and their insurance number is yet to be taken?

It's very simple. Just go to the ESIC Portal, fill out the accident report, and submit it to ESIC or the nearest Police Station/DLC in case of death.

You need to first submit the registration of IP online to obtain the insurance number. Then follow what Vinay, HR, said. The onus lies on you to prove that the accident occurred on the very first day of employment.

Accident Report Submission for ESI Cases

Accident Report on the prescribed form is required to be submitted to the appropriate Branch Office of ESIC, even if the Insurance Number has not been allotted. Delay is always difficult to justify later on. You can submit the Declaration Form of the injured employee online or by the old procedure, as the Branch Office may accept it. In the Accident Report, in the column of the Insurance Number of the employee, you can indicate "Applied For."

I also hope that you will make compliance in respect of other issues/points - viz. entry in the Accident Register, intimation of the accident to the Inspector of Factories, and in case of a serious accident, a Report to the appropriate Police Authorities (FIR).

I think, since the accident report is now introduced online on the portal, there is no need to submit it to the Branch office in physical form. However, in the given case, the queriest can submit the physical prescribed form of the accident report to the Branch office without the insurance number. I still prefer to enroll the person as an IP first and submit the accident report online. This will not take much time. The only thing one needs is the basic details of the person they are going to enroll.

After filling out the online accident report, please print it and have it signed by an authorized signatory. Submit the signed report to the local ESIC DISPENSARY.
