ESI Registration Services by Ask Associates

Employee State Insurance (ESI) registration is a crucial compliance requirement for businesses in India, ensuring employees receive medical and financial benefits under the ESI Act of 1948. The scheme, managed by the Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), extends coverage to employees earning up to Rs. 21,000 per month (Rs. 25,000 for employees with disabilities) and provides essential healthcare, maternity, and accident benefits.

At Ask Associates, we simplify the ESI registration process, helping businesses comply with ESIC regulations seamlessly. Our team of experts ensures that your organization meets all statutory requirements while focusing on employee welfare and legal compliance.

What is the ESI Scheme?
The Employee State Insurance (ESI) scheme is a social security initiative providing medical care, financial assistance, and other benefits to employees and their families. Employers must register under ESIC if they meet the eligibility criteria, ensuring employees receive benefits such as medical treatment, maternity coverage, and accident compensation.
