It is the employer’s legal duty to register the factory/establishment under the ESI Scheme within 15 days of its effective date.

When an employee starts insurable work, he must complete a Declaration Form (form1) and submit a family photo to the employer in duplicate.

The documents are then submitted to the ESI Branch Office by the employer.

The employee is given an insurance number, which is also used to identify him under the system. He is also given a three-month temporary identity card that allows him to get medical benefits for himself and his family.

He is then given a permanent photo identification card. In the event of a change of job, a person who has already registered does not need to re-register. The registration can be moved from one location to another.
