Navigating ESI Coverage: Who Qualifies When Employees Are in Different Areas?

Scenario I

Company ABC is in the implemented area and has 35 employees, out of which only 5 employees have a salary of less than Rs. 21,000. Is ESI applicable?

Scenario II

Company ABC is in the implemented area and has an ESI code. The company has contracted services with 30 individuals who work independently. Out of these individuals, 15 are in the implemented area and 15 are in the non-implemented area. The question is, which individuals should be covered under ESI?

Scenario - I

Company ABC has more than 10 employees who have been working. Hence, the company is to be covered under the ESI Act.

Scenario - II

The query is not clear. Has the company engaged a contractor, and are there 30 individuals working under the contractor? Or, has the company appointed them directly on fixed-term contract employment?
