Dear all,

I am Shalaka Patade. I have a query regarding ESI applicability. Please guide me on the same. We are a subsidiary of a company in the Agri Business sector, specifically in the seeds business. Our office in Ahmedabad is registered under The Shops and Establishments Act, with 14 employees, including sales and marketing staff.

Additionally, we have a farm in Bangalore where research activities take place, with 7 employees working there. Among the total employees, 2 in Ahmedabad and 7 in Bangalore receive a monthly salary below Rs. 15,000.

My question is: Is the ESI Act applicable to us?

Regards,
Shalaka Patade

Dear Shalaka,

If all the persons working at different locations and getting salaries through the same (single) company, then all employees will be grouped together for ESI strength eligibility (which is a minimum of 20). If the above clarification suits your situation, then if regardless of the members of those receiving salaries less than 15,000, your establishment would be covered under the ESI Act.

Dear Shalaka,

Any establishment where 20 or more persons are employed, either at one location or different locations, will be covered under the provisions of the ESI Act. The ESI Authorities have issued a notification through which establishments where 10 or more persons are employed for wages/salary, not salary ceiling, will now be covered under the application of the ESI Act.

You are requested to kindly check with your Area ESI Inspector whether they are covering establishments based on the Act or based on the new Notification.
