Dear friends
I am seeking inputs to prepare a document to the management and employees on the Benefits under the ESIC scheme viz the medical befits given by the company.I have collected the information from the ACt and as stated in their state.I would appreciate if any one of you could their views comments on the comparative benefits that they have analysed on this topic.
I would also like to know if any of your companies have been provided exemptions from the applicability of the act by virtue of implementing and providing more/equal benefits through mediclaim/accident benefit/hospitalization plan/company doctor/reimbursements of all expenses[medica] etc
Looking forward to your inputs.Based on the information received i shall make the analysis available here for the reference of the faternity.

Dear Sasi,

Yes exemption can be sought from ESI if your organisation has medical facilities being given to employees which is better than the ESI facility. For this you will have to write to the Ministry of Labour , they will send you a form to be filled in for the purpose, this form will ask you for various details regarding your organisation and also the details of medical facilities extended by you to your employees which you feel are better than the ESI. Along with the form you can attach copies of such medical policies, the copies can be from you policy manual or staff handbook.

Once the same is sent to the ministry they might consider your request and grant you exemption, but the process takes a long time and also the exemption is always given for only a year, next year again you will have to seek a renewed exemption. Also the Ministry publishes a Gazette carrying the names of the organisation which is exempted from the same.

Usually to get an exemption for first time, it might include an inspection from the Ministries side and much documentation, once you have got it then it is only a matter of following up every year and keeping up your policies.

This exemption is slightly easier to get if the company is a PSU or semi govt. as my Company was PSU I am aware of the procedures followed there.

Hope this clarifies your query.

thanks and regards
