Sir(s),
If any factory or specified establishment is coverable under ESI Act, 1948, but not covered, following penalties etc. will be payable on coverage of the unit lateron as and when detected and found to be coverable:
1. The unit will be covered retrospectively from the very date from which the same qualifies for coverage.
2. The employer will not be able to deduct the employees' share of contributions from the wages of the employees for the past period, but will be required to deposit the same.
3. interest will be liable to be recovered from employer for such late deposit of contributions.
Similar type of provisions exist in EPF & Misc. Provisions Act also.

The employees getting wages Rs. 30000/- per month (as mentioned by the member in above remarks) are neither coverable under ESI Act, nor under EPF & Misc. Provisions Act. The member has not mentioned as to in what way the employer is manipulating the things.

For not implementing ESI and PF in the company after the eligibility as per the act, The respective Inspectors will be giving notices.
You have to pay both the shares as an employer for the back period.
You cannot recover from the employees for the back period. This will be a big expenditure/burden to the company.
Besides this, you are liable for penal consequences as per acts i.e. you are liable for fine, interest, damages and for imprisonment also.
Please implement soon and try to avoid the same

I may mention that the penalties and imprisonment under provisions of Act are not imposed by the Inspectors. On filing prosecution cases by ESIC under relevant provisions of the ESI Act, 1948 the Hon'ble Courts having jurisdiction decide such matters and impose penalties and imprisonments as they consider appropriate in the case. Only under damages provisions, damages are imposed by the concerned Department and that too at senior level after affording opportunity of hearing to the principal employer.
I will request the member, who recorded remarks as above to kindly indicate the provisions of Act/Rules/Regulations which provide for award of penalties and imprisonment by Inspectors.
