Dear Parag,
While taking Employees' Compensation policy you must keep in mind section 53 of E S I Act, 1948. Discuss this provision with the Insurance Company & if they agree that they will provide benefits of EC policy with out prejudice to the rights of the employees under ESI Act then you may proceed further in the matter.
Opnion submitted as requested.

As per my understanding ESI provide health care benefits to insurer and his/her family and also provide monetary benefits. As compared to WC ESI provide more benefits, so if you are registered under ESI then WC not applicable as no one will ask why you are providing more benefits.
Hello Khola, please guide me if I am wrong.

Dear Shaikh Abedeen,
You are right in saying that where the employee is covered under ESI Act, 1948 then in accordance with sec. 53 the injured employee or the dependants are not in a position to claim compensation under any other law including Employees Compensation Act, 1923.By the amendment of WC Act although the coverage & benefits are enhanced but even then it seems that benefits under ESI Act are on higher side & thus you can not be stated to be wrong.
