Yours is a factory employing more than 10 persons. As such u are required to register ur factory under the ACt with the ESIC. Contributions in respect all employees drawing wages of Rs.15000/- or less will have to be made as per the Act and the rules.Merely because medical insurance is taken for the employees ur factory will not be exempt from the provisions of the Act. For getting exemption from the ACt ur Factory will have to satisfy that u are extending to ur employees similar or superior benefits provided under the Act. In that case u have to apply to the Appropriate Govt for exemption which if granted will be notified in the Gazette.
