Applicability of ESI Scheme:-
The scheme is applicable to all factories [Section 1(4)]. The Appropriate Government can also make it applicable to any other industrial, commercial, agricultural or other establishments, by issuing notification and giving 6 month notice. [Section 1(5)].
ESI Act can be made applicable to ‘shops’ also. However, since Government has to provide for hospitals and medical facilities, the Act can be made applicable to different parts of state at different dates.
Thus, if a factory is at a place where ESIC is unable to provide medical facilities, ESI Act may not be made applicable to the area.
Government can exempt a factory or establishment or persons or class of persons from provisions of ESI Act, if the employees are getting better medical facilities [e.g. if Government is convinced that the factory itself is providing very good medical facilities e.g. like TISCO].
