If any contract workman is medically unfit for more than 90 days and under treatment, ESIC will continue. If this workman has not submitted any contributions to ESIC and EPF in this condition, will the workman still be able to avail all benefits or not. Please confirm as soon as possible.

Sir, benefits under the ESI Act, 1948, and rules/regulations framed thereunder are available for a certain period and that too on the condition that the insured person must be entitled to the said benefits. The appropriate branch office of ESIC, to which the said insured person is attached, can only certify for which benefit the said insured person is entitled or not, even after exhausting 90 days as mentioned by you. Therefore, it will be better if you contact the said office. However, to review the terms and conditions of eligibility, please refer to the online link of literature available on the website of ESIC:

Mr. Dharmender Singh,
If a workman is medically unfit and receiving continuous treatment under ESIC, allowing him medical rest, he will remain eligible until the completion of treatment (medical fitness), regardless of his zero contributions, subject to his entitlement at the beginning of the treatment. His entitlement will be reviewed once he regains fitness and again requires general sickness benefits. However, in the case of an injury during the discharge of his duties, he will be entitled once again.
