ESIC directs the regional authorities to carry out inspection only in certain cases

The Employees State Insurance Corporation in its notification dated 13th January 2020 has informed the authorities that there is no need to make inspection visits in all cases of late registration of employees by employers. Inspection needs to be undertaken only in case of super specialty treatment/Death/Accident where the RO/SRO has sufficient cause to believe that the delay was not for obtaining any undue benefits.

The regional officer or sub-regional officer can issue necessary order of date of appointment subject to submission of necessary documents by the employer. The employers can now submit the documents required in case of late registration to the concerned RO/ SRO through e-mail, post and messenger etc.

In case the employer fails to submit the required documents for verification within the stipulated period, the registration date would be considered as the appointment date and no modifications would be allowed later on.

The date of appointment shall not be prior to 1st day of previous contribution period.
