Hi everyone,
We have incorporated a company recently and we have received an email from ESIC along with login credentials, wherein it is mentioned that status has to be updated in ESIC website within 4 weeks. In the website, there is a message stating “New companies registered through MCA portal w.e.f.15.02.2020 need not comply with provisions of ESI act till they reach threshold of ESI coverage or initial 6 months whichever is earlier”. Is a company required to comply with ESI provisions despite the fact that the number of employees has not crossed 10? Can anyone provide clarity on this?
