Leaving Your Job: Can You Keep Contributing to Your ESI Card on Your Own?

Hi,

Can I continue my ESI card to deposit some contribution by myself after leaving the job? Is there any government rule in this regard?

Thank you.

No, you can't. The ESI IP number needs to be linked to an employer, and an employee can't file contributions themselves. It is only filed by an employer. Once you leave your job, your employer immediately marks your exit on the ESI portal within one month.
