Yes, it is the legal responsibility of the employer to register their unit/Factory/ Establishment under the ESI Act within 15 days from the date when the act becomes applicable to them.

This is the 17-digit unique identification number that is allotted to every registered establishment. This number gets generated through the ESIC portal on the submission of required information by the employer or it is generated on receipt of a survey report from the Social Security Officer.

Once a factory or an Establishment gets covered under the Act, it will continue to be covered notwithstanding the fact that the number of covered employees that were employed at any time falls below the required limit or there is any change in the manufacturing activity.

In addition to the Muster roll, the wage record and the books of Account that are maintained under other laws, the employer is required to maintain the following records for the ESI:-
The accident Register in Form-11
An inspection book.
Immediate employer is also required to maintain the Employee’s Register for the employees deployed to the principal employer.

The registration is a process of recording the information about the entry of an employee into insured employment, under the Act.

The registration of the employees is needed to identify the employee and to provide them with the benefits under the Act which are related to the contributions paid by the employer on behalf of each of the insured employees.

After registration under the scheme the employer can give a temporary identity certificate, affix employee’s photo and then authenticate it for use which will be valid for a period of 3 months. This identity card acts as an identification for both claiming the medical benefit at dispensary/ hospital and for claiming the cash benefits at the ESI branch Office.

The scale of the medical benefit includes the complete medical treatment from start to finish.
