Description
Employees' State Insurance Act popularly known as ESI Act is the first major legislation on social security for employees in India. The Scheme, as per provisions of the Act, is devised so as to provide social protection to employees in contingencies such as illness, long-term sickness or any other health risks due to exposure to employment injury or occupational hazards. Under the provisions of the scheme, medical facilities are also made available to the legal dependants of insured persons.After a span of seven years, the Employees' State Insurance Corporation has raised the monthly wage threshold to Rs 21,000 from the current Rs 15,000 for coverage under its health insurance scheme. The Employees' State Insurance Corporation board also decided to give an option to existing insured persons to continue membership even if their basic wage breaches the ceiling of Rs 21,000 per month. At present, all those insured under the Employees' State Insurance Corporation scheme lose their membership of Employees' State Insurance Corporation as well as that of the insurance cover if their basic wage overshoots the ceiling.
