We have our HO at Chennai. We process and pay salary for staffs at Chennai as well as Staffs at Salem, Coimbatore etc.,
My problem is we have a ESI Employee code number at Chennai through which we pay the ESI amt. deducted from Staffs at Chennai.
But as far as Other stations are concerned, my doubt is should ARE WE BOUND TO PAY ESI if our staff strength at the respective branches is below 10.
Presently we have separate ESI Empoyee code for all branches irrespective of the fact that whether there are 10 staffs or less/more than 10 staffs.
As far as Salem is concerned there is only one staff (like a resident rep)and salary is paid through Salary Account Bank.
Please clarify whether we are bound to pay ESI for branches at various places out side Chennai if our staff strength is less than the prescribed limit fixed under the ACT.

Dear Member,
The following points will help you to understand the provisions of the ESI Act.
The Act when it becomes applicable and subsequently the strength is less than 10, the act will continue in force even though the prescribed strength is less.
If the branches are having separate legal entity and separate books of accounts are maintained, you can have different code numbers and you can file the returns separately.
The employee may work at any place, but where he is getting salary, whether that branch is covered under ESI act or not, are the deciding factor for coverage and non-coverage of ESI provisions.

Hi
Pls. note the below.
1.You may take the ESI main code @ Chennai if the employee strength touches the prescribed limit
2. Now for other locations you need to take ESI - SUB CODE so that the people working in this areas can avail treatment from local ESI dispensaries otherwise not
3.Monthly ESI remittances will be done from HO - cHENNAI
4.Half yearly ESI returns has to be done from respective locations.
5.No question of NO limit in sub locations i.e. even for 1 member, you can take a sub code for ESI & then only he could avail local treatment.
Hope the above is clear.
