ESIC Rules Update 2020

The ESIC released anew circular on 29th June 2020. This circular states that it is now mandatory to enable mobile number and bank account details while registering new employees. Additionally, these details also have to be updated for the older employees. This new rule comes into effect from 1st July 2020 onwards. If while adding mobile number of employee it seems that the number is already linked with another employee then you will receive an OTP for verification. Upon successful verification, mobile number linking will be complete. Similarly, while adding bank account details, if bank account is linked to another employee then it will not get added. Furthermore, the employer will have to scan and upload an attested copy of the employee’s cancelled cheque leaflet’s front page, or passbook page with account holder details.

Old employees have the option to visit the Regional ESI Branch Office and get their bank account details updated. This is possible by producing a copy of front page of employee’s cheque leaflet and getting it attested by the ESIC Branch Manager. Until the bank account details and mobile number are updated, employees will not be able to claim reimbursements or avail cash benefits from ESI.
