ESIC provides monetary and medical benefits to Employees in case of sickness, maternity, and employment injury and makes provisions for related matters.

- earning a salary of Rs. 21,000 or less per month (Rs.25,000 for disabled employees) are covered under the ESI scheme and thus, they have to mandatorily register with the ESIC within 15 days from the date of its applicability.
