21 July 2024 In the context of ESIC (Employees' State Insurance Corporation) registration, here's how the main code and sub code system works, and whether you need sub codes for branches located in different states:

### Main Code and Sub Code in ESIC:

1. **Main Code**:
- The main code is the registration number obtained for ESIC at the principal or registered office location of the company. This registration covers all employees at the registered office and is used for centralized compliance and reporting purposes.

2. **Sub Code**:
- Sub codes are additional registration numbers obtained for branches or establishments of the company located in different states or regions. Each sub code is specific to the branch location and allows for localized compliance with ESIC regulations.

### Need for Sub Code:

- **Medical Benefits**: ESIC provides medical benefits to employees covered under its scheme, including treatment at ESIC hospitals and dispensaries. The main code covers all employees under the ESIC scheme, but employees located in branches outside the state of the registered office may require a separate sub code for availing medical benefits locally.

- **Compliance**: While the main code ensures overall compliance with ESIC regulations, having sub codes for branches located in different states ensures that local ESIC regulations are adhered to, especially regarding medical benefits and local reporting requirements.

### Action Steps:

- **Evaluate Need**: Determine if employees in branches located outside Delhi (registered office) require access to ESIC medical benefits locally. If so, obtaining sub codes for these branches would be advisable.

- **Application Process**: Contact the ESIC regional office where each branch is located to apply for sub codes. Each branch will need to be registered separately under ESIC, and sub codes will be issued accordingly.

- **Benefits Administration**: Sub codes facilitate efficient administration of ESIC benefits locally, ensuring employees have access to medical facilities as per ESIC guidelines in their respective regions.

### Consultation:

For specific guidance on obtaining sub codes and ensuring compliance with ESIC regulations across multiple branches, it is recommended to consult with a qualified ESIC consultant or legal advisor. They can provide detailed advice based on current ESIC rules and assist in the application process for sub codes where necessary. This will help ensure that your company complies with ESIC requirements while providing medical benefits to employees across different locations effectively.
