Dear Colleague,

Referring to the above post:

As far as my knowledge goes, the matter of ESI for construction workers is pending before the Honorable Supreme Court of India in the year 2018. Are there any recent updates on this important subject that have occurred since then? If so, kindly share with everyone for the benefit of understanding. I have attached a document on the subject from ESIC in the year 2018. Please provide any latest news on this.

Thank you.

Dear Sivakumar, yes, you are correct. The Supreme Court stays the applicability of ESI to construction site workers/labour.

Thank you. There may be developments post-2018 that the HR community needs to track and update on, especially in the HR of the construction industry. Any member who has further updates to share, it will be of use to all of us.
