Overview of the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948
The Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948, protects the interests of workers in contingencies such as sickness, maternity, temporary or permanent physical disablement, and death due to employment injury resulting in loss of wages or earning capacity. The Act also guarantees reasonably good medical care to workers and their immediate dependents.
The main purpose of the ESIC Act is to provide medical help, i.e., maternity and sickness benefits.
The Act is applicable to non-seasonal factories employing 10 or more persons. The scheme has been extended to shops, hotels, restaurants, cinemas including preview theaters, road-motor transport undertakings, and newspaper establishments employing 20 or more persons.
Thanks,
Malav Shah.
