Online ESI Registration - An Overview
Employee State Insurance, or ESI, is a government-run programme that provides workers with medical, financial, and other benefits. Employee State Insurance Corporation, an autonomous entity within the Ministry of Labour and Employment’s competence, is in charge of ESI.
Any company with more than ten employees is required by law to have ESI. The number of employees in some states is as high as 20. The insurance is deducted from the income of employees earning more than $21,000 per month, including basic salaries and dearness allowance.
Additionally, taxpayers with a turnover of fewer than 1.5 crores can use the composition plan to avoid time-consuming GST paperwork and pay GST at a fixed turnover rate.
