Greetings for the day! If a factory or an establishment exists in an ESIC-notified area, then, as per rules, ESIC is applicable to those contractual manpower who fall within the ESIC ceiling. Remaining contractual manpower will be covered under workman's compensation.
For reference, you may read Section 53 of the ESI Act, 1948.

Understanding Workmen's Compensation and ESI
Workmen's compensation and ESI are two different Acts. If in your establishment there are more than 10 employees with a salary of less than ₹15,000, then you must mandatorily register under the ESI Act.
As per the Workmen's Compensation Act, if a worker gets injured during the course of employment, the employer has to compensate for the loss caused to the worker. If your establishment is covered under ESI, then that expense will be covered by the ESI, and you need not worry. If ESI is not covered, then you have to insure your workers separately. If you did not insure your employees, then you have to pay the loss caused to your worker from your pocket.

Understanding ESIC and Workman's Compensation
In simple terms, you have to understand that wherever you are deploying your workers, if that area is under ESI notified rather than an Implemented Area, then there is no need to comply under the Workmen Compensation Act. In case the area of working falls under a non-implemented area, you have to follow the Workmen Compensation Act, Maternity Act, etc., as applicable.

If your company is covered by ESIC, then you do not need to take workmen's compensation because all employees with a salary up to ₹15,000 are covered by ESIC. For the rest, you can opt for a mediclaim policy, which will cover ailments and accidental treatment cases. ESIC will only be applicable if your employee strength is more than 10 persons.

Coverage Under EC Act
As far as coverage under the EC Act (earlier WC Act) is concerned, there is no salary limit. The only condition is that the person injured must be an employee as per the definition. The injury should be an employment injury.

ESIC Coverage Zones and Requirements
ESIC specifies the coverage limits for establishments based on their facilities being extended easily. The coverage areas are under zones, namely Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3. Zone 1 and Zone 2 are the areas coming under the Municipal Corporation, while Zone 2 comprises Nagar Parishad and Cantonment areas. Zone 3 is the area outside the limits of Zone 1 and Zone 2.
Consequently, as per the ESIC Act, it is mandatory for establishments to register under ESIC if they fall in Zone 1 or Zone 2. For the rest of the areas, ESIC does not impose its mandate. However, as per governing labor law and for the welfare and protection of employees, employees need to be insured under the EC Act. The ESIC Act has limits for insurance coverage for employees based on salary, which is below 15,000 per month. Similarly, the EC Act specifies minimum limits but not the maximum limit for insurance coverage as premium and has also defined the benefits under the Act.
Also, please note that not only contractual employees are required to be brought under this coverage, but all employees who are eligible and fall under the terms of these two Acts.

Understanding Workmen's Compensation and ESI
Workmen's compensation and ESI are two different Acts. If in your establishment there are more than 10 employees and among them anyone is getting a salary less than ₹15,000, then you have to mandatorily register under the ESI Act.
Coverage Under Workmen's Compensation Act
As per the Workmen's Compensation Act, if a worker gets injured during the course of employment, the employer has to compensate for the loss caused to the worker. If your establishment is covered under ESI, then that expense will be covered by the ESI, and you need not worry.
Insurance Requirements Without ESI
If ESI does not cover you, then you have to insure your workers separately. If you did not insure your employees, then you have to pay for the loss caused to your worker from your pocket. Both acts cannot be applicable at the same time in the same organization.

Hello everyone,
Thank you for the valuable information. I want to know, is it necessary to be covered under ESIC in the construction industry? This is because laborers come and go every day, and not only that, the place of work can also change in various types of construction like rework and transmission lines, etc.
