Documents for ESI Returns

ESI filings are done half yearly. However, before starting the procedure for filing the ESI returns, an organization (corporate entity) with 10 employees and more, irrespective of the salary mark, need to register under the ESI scheme.

Procedure for filing returns:

A registration certificate or a license obtained under shops and establishment Act, or factories Act.
MOM and Articles of Association, or a partnership deed or Trust deed, based upon the type of entity.
Certificate of registration, commencement of production (for factories).
A list of employees, with their monthly compensation, in detail.
A list of directors, partners, and shareholders of the company.
PAN card of the business and Address proof of the establishment/firm.
Bank statements of the organization, with evidence of commencement of operation.

Once the documents are ready, the company can apply for registration, by submitting a form: Employer’s Registration Form (Form – 1). A pdf format of the form is available on the website. Fill in the form, with the details asked for, and submit it to ESIC, for registration. Once verified, a registration number, a 17-digit unique identity, will be provided to the organization. The ESI filings can be done, once you receive the 17-digit number.

The employees, who are registered under the scheme, get an ESI card, after submitting a form, with their family photograph and details of the family members to the employer, who then submits the same to the ESIC, for registration.

Although the registration is permanent, and the number is valid for a lifetime of the company, any new changes, such as employee additions, need to be intimated to the ESI.
