ESIC Registration mandatory? 14 employees with gross under 21K?

Hi,
We have 14 employees who's gross salary is under 21,000/- in Mumbai/ Maharashtra, do we need to get ourselves register for ESIC. Is this mandatory for us ?
Kindly advise.
Thanks Manoj

Sir, kindly intimate whether the unit/establishment in respect of which you have raised the issue is a factory doing manufacturing work or the said unit is one of establishment like shop, hotel, restaurant etc. etc. In other words, what type of activities in your establishment is carried on in said unit ?

Dear Harsh, We are IT consulting and staffing company. Regards Manoj

Dear Manoj,
Minimum number of employees required for registration under ESIC is 20 numbers.

Please see the ESIC circular for coverage. whihc is 10 0r more employees dated 30-03-2011 This will remove the doubts..
Thanks and regards

ESI officials will look into the contract employees (though they are in other company rolls) like house keeping staff, security etc.
The total if it crosses 20 then ESI becomes mandatory.
Another point, if employee count is more than 20 but even if one person is below 21000 then registration and payment of ESI becomes necessary.

You want to register or see way for exempton. Better to register and comply being the growing organization and this being welfare legislation to benefit employees.

Hi Mr. Manoj,
ESIC is mandatory if the salary is below or equal 21000 & if your company employee count is 19 or more. Also, refer the link for more. https://www.stacowiki.in/en/acts/st-...rance-act1948/
