How Does the ESI Scheme Extension Impact Construction Workers Since August 2015?

Extension of the ESI Scheme to Construction Site Workers, with effect from August 1, 2015. Notification issued by ESIC. Please find attached.

Thank you, Pragnaa Corporate HR Services India Pvt. Ltd., for promptly updating the members of this forum.

Now, the question is how this unorganized sector is going to comply with this. To date, the PF scheme has not been fully implemented by this sector. The government is introducing new schemes, enactments, etc., but the big question remains: how many of these are actually being implemented?

Dear All,

Is it the right time and move by the Union Government to substitute EPF and ESI with the National Pension Scheme and Insurance Scheme? How beneficial will it be for the workers? Will the proposal be cleared by the government with the support of the unions and employers soon, so that there could be relief from the 'Inspector Raj'?

They can recover from the employer, but the authorities must provide the details of the beneficiaries of the recovered amount.
