ESI Registration Support for Employers
Check whether ESI applies to your establishment and employees before preparing the registration. TaxQue helps organise business, workplace, employee and authorised signatory details for the agreed employer onboarding work. Coverage depends on the applicable establishment and employee rules.
Share business locations, employee wage details and existing registrations so the correct route can be reviewed. Confirm whether employee enrolment and monthly contribution support are included. Registration does not promise immediate eligibility for every benefit; benefit conditions and contribution history require a separate check.
What is ESI Registration?
Review establishment applicability: Check the nature of the establishment, locations and relevant coverage notifications before applying.
Prepare employee details accurately: Review wages, joining dates, existing insurance numbers and required employee information.
Arrange the next compliance steps: After registration, keep employee changes and contribution records current; agree whether monthly support is included.
Coverage cannot be decided from wages alone
Check the current wage rules, employee category and contribution-period treatment. A wage increase should not be treated as an automatic instruction to stop contributions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about ESI Registration
Under the Code on Social Security, 2020 (in force from 21 November 2025, replacing the ESI Act, 1948), ESIC registration is legally mandatory for any non-seasonal factory or commercial establishment (shops, restaurants, hotels, IT companies, private hospitals) employing 10 or more employees (20 or more in certain states like Maharashtra) located in an ESIC-implemented area.
Employees earning a gross monthly wage (basic + allowances) up to ₹21,000 per month (or up to ₹25,000 per month for persons with disabilities) are mandatorily covered under the ESI scheme. Employees earning above ₹21,000 are exempt from ESIC deductions.
The statutory contribution rates are: Employee Share: 0.75% of gross monthly wages; Employer Share: 3.25% of gross monthly wages (Total Contribution: 4.0% of gross wages). If an employee's average daily wage is up to ₹176, the employee is 100% exempt from contributing, and only the employer pays 3.25%.
ESIC provides comprehensive social security benefits: Full medical treatment for employees and their families at network ESIC hospitals (zero out-of-pocket expenses), Sickness Cash Benefit (70% wages during certified illness), Maternity Benefit (100% paid leave for 26 weeks), Disablement Benefit (90% monthly pension for workplace injury), and Dependants' Pension in case of death.
We prepare your details and complete the employer registration on the ESIC portal within 24 to 48 hours of receiving complete documents; the 17-digit ESIC Employer Code is then issued by the portal, and any departmental verification can take longer.
