I am working as an HR Executive in a Pvt Ltd Company. Our employees have mentioned that there is no use of the paid ESI, as nobody responded well at the time of treatment. So, please close the ESI account. Can you please help me with the process to close the ESI account?
Thank you.

Addressing Concerns with the ESI Scheme
A large number of employees, approximately 1.65 crores, and their family members, totaling about 7.5 crores, are covered under the ESI Scheme. The employees and family members covered under the ESI Act receive benefits as a matter of their legal rights. In such a large scheme, shortcomings and delays are easily detected. However, I suggest that if there are any deficiencies or defects, they should be brought to the attention of the senior management of the dispensary/hospital or branch office of ESIC so that improvements can be made and shortcomings removed. These issues can also be raised in the Local Committees as constituted under the said Act and in the Shikayat Adalats being organized by the department every month on a stipulated date.
Even if you engage a private hospital for the treatment of your employees, similar shortcomings are likely to be detected in any system. Furthermore, if you have your employees covered under private commercial insurance, the system always has a cap on total expenditure, making reimbursement difficult and not free from defects or shortcomings as highlighted by the person who initiated this discussion.
Compliance with the ESI Act
The coverage under the ESI Act, 1948, and the rules/regulations framed thereunder is statutory, and one has no option but to comply. If an employee currently feels that ESIC services are not useful, perhaps their outlook may change in the future when they or any of their family members or colleagues benefit from the medical services provided by the said institutions in the contingencies mentioned in the Act.
