I want to know that, whether it is mandatory for an organisation to cover ESI if the organisation has a suitable & best mediclaim insurance policy /group accident policy for it's employees. All the employees are regulary taking benefits from mediclaim / group accident scheme.
Secondly, not a single employee from the date of ESI coverage either has gone to ESI dispensary or, take any ESI benefit.
The company is regularly / timely depositing the ESI dues/returns etc.
Kindly let me intimate if there is any rullings/ provisions to avoid ESI permanently.
