If I have branches accross India but taken ESI registration on HO only for all the employees of India then will the employees belong to other states can avail the ESI treatment through their registration numbers issued by HO from the hospitals or doctors available nearby i.e.in their native places? If yes then please refer section or rule under ESI Act 1948.

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether employees in branches across India can utilise the ESI registration number issued at the Head Office for medical treatment in their local areas. While employees remain eligible for benefits if contributions are paid under the employer's code, it's highlighted that ESI coverage is establishment-based. Branches in different states typically require separate sub-codes for proper contribution and benefit administration, and these can be applied for via the ESIC portal.

ESI registration for branches:
• ESI coverage is establishment-based. Branches in different States (where ESI is implemented) must be registered as sub-codes under the main registration (or separate codes), for proper contribution and benefit administration. Contributions for branch employees should be paid under the respective sub-codes (regional office).
• Employees in branches remain eligible for benefits if contributions are paid under the employer's code. But for compliance and inspections, sub-code registration is required.
• Apply for sub-codes on the ESIC portal.
