Applicability Of ESIC If Working In Another State With Less Than 10 Labours?

Dear All,

I want to know the applicability of ESIC in the following organization:

Suppose ABC Ltd is a construction company registered with ESIC in Uttar Pradesh. The company has now taken on a new project in Bihar. It may happen that fewer than 10 or more than 10 laborers will be required for the construction work.

Kindly let me know whether registration with ESIC in Bihar is required or not.

Even a single labor employed would get covered under ESIC. Get a sub-code for the branch office or enlist the new laborers under existing registration as you feel good.

Dear Sir,

I accept your reply, but please quote the section code or notification number for justification of the reply. I have to show the legal provision about this issue to seniors; otherwise, nobody will accept this reply.

Once an establishment is covered under ESIC/EPFO, they have to enroll all their "eligible" employees and are liable to pay contributions irrespective of the location of work.

Please read Chapter IV, paragraph 38 at [ESIC Act PDF](http://esic.nic.in/backend/images/esic_act_file/f91b795b3a6ec0e381b824d4805f1d58.pdf).

Dear Mr. Sharma,

Thank you for your valuable reply.

Regards,
Trilochan
