Is employee eligible for WC policy even if he is already covered under ESIC? - Please suggest

Hi

If employee is covered under ESI then no need for WC coverage.

Any employee covered under ESIC won't get the benefits under Workmen compensation Act, There are many of the court rulings stating no 2 or more benefits for same injuries

It should be viewed like all employee who meets with an accident during the course of employment is entitled to get compensation following the provisions of Employees Compensation Act. But in respect of an employee covered by ESI Act, the compensation payable under the aforesaid Act will be paid by the ESI Corporation only.
