ESI Applicability Dilemma: How Do Mixed Area Locations Affect Coverage?

ESI Applicability in Mixed Area Establishments

An establishment with the entrance located in a non-implemented area, whereas the rear end of the unit is situated in an implemented area. The question is whether ESI is applicable or not?

The registered address would correspond to the entrance area, so the applicability of ESI will not be there. However, since ESI is a welfare legislation and it is in the overall long-term interest of the organization to comply with it, you may consider approaching the local office of the ESI Corporation for clarification in this regard.

The scheme of ESI is applicable to this establishment as it exists in the buffer zone, in my opinion. It would be appropriate to check the notice on which the names of the revenue villages mentioned, to which the scheme of ESI is applicable.

Did you receive any communication from ESI regarding registration? Discuss with the management to understand their views on ESI. The management should opt for ESI as it is a welfare legislation beneficial for both the employer and employee.
