Is ESI Applicable to Software Companies? Seeking Guidance on Employer Registration

Hi,

Hope you all are doing great. I've joined Software Pvt Ltd company. I want to know whether ESI is applicable to software companies registered under the Companies Act. If yes, what is the procedure for employer registration? Is it the same as normal employer registration?

Regards, Bharath Surya

Dear Bharath ji,

I presume you are from Hyderabad. Answers to your queries are as follows:

The ESI Act is applicable to Software Companies as well. The Act applies when you have 10 or more employees.

To register as an employer, you need to log in to the ESI portal and submit the registration form online. There is no distinction between normal employer registration and any other type of registration.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Bharat Surya,

Please find attached a copy of the Bombay High Court ruling stating that ESI is applicable to Software Companies.

Hi Bharath,

If your company employees are more than 10 and if anyone's salary is 15k or below, you need to register your company for ESI.
