To provide protection cover to employees, Employees’ state Insurance Scheme of India (ESIC) has provided many helpful schemes that provide Insurance cover to employees. Under these schemes, workers and their dependents get protection cover. Employees get full medical benefits that are applicable to workers from day 1. Apart from such benefits, various other benefits can be availed in case one suffers permanent or temporary disablement or any kind of distress due to sickness that may result in loss of loss of employment or loss of income.
With the help of its wide network of branches, ESIC on average makes payment of Rs. 300 crores every year with Rs. 40 lac of individual payments. However, to avail the benefits under the scheme insured person need to satisfy certain conditions as mentioned under the scheme. These formalities come under the set procedure that is followed every time compensation has to be given. In order to help one with the compensation process, an attempt has been done in the following paragraphs to specify the procedures in a clear and straightforward manner.
