Esi applicability

Hi Radhakrishnan

Both ESI and EC is different.   As far as EC is concerned, we can get the claim if any unforseen happens.  But ESI we can get the medical benefit.  Compared with EC, ESI is more beneficial.  For labour both ESI and EC has to be complied.   In remote areas where there is no ESI despensary, we can comply with EC alone.

Hope its clear. If not do let me so that more details can be provided to you.

Hi Mary

It is clear that ESI and EC are different. My point is where ESI is applicable (the area is a covered area for ESI) EC is not required becuase the disability benefits are taken care under ESI. But where ESI is not applicable, employers are taking WC policy which gives benefit only in case of disability and does not provide any medical benefits unlike ESI. In that eventuality, whether employers are under any obligatoin to have workmen;s compensation policies loaded with medical extension benefits as well.
