About Employee State Insurance

The Employee State Insurance (ESI) scheme is a comprehensive social security and health insurance scheme for workers in India. Managed by the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), it provides medical and cash benefits to employees and their dependents in case of sickness, maternity, disablement, or death due to employment-related injuries. Both employers and employees contribute a percentage of wages towards the scheme. ESI covers a wide range of medical services, including hospitalization, outpatient treatment, maternity benefits, and more. It aims to ensure access to quality healthcare and financial protection for workers and their families, promoting social security and welfare across the workforce.
