If you want to remain within legal requirements & not go overboard, then cover employees under ESI. Those whose salary is above ESI limits can be covered under Employee Compensation Policy from any general insurance company. On doing this you legally secure your company from any legal liabilities, should they arise. Mediclaim policy does not suffice legal obligations & as such may be done away with.

Dear Susant,
Each employee working in a factory or establishment has to be covered either through ESIC or Employee Compensation or Workmen Compensation Policy.
If something wrong happens HR would be questioned by the Management only, so cover all of them.
