ESIC Form 16 is the accident report that must be filled within 24 hours of the accident. It is only required for employees who were injured during work hours and not otherwise.

Form 16 includes all information related to the accident occurrence and its causes, as well as details of any witnesses to the accident.

Form 12 is an application for sick leave remuneration.

Stay Cool,

You are right, it was before that Accident Report was Form 16. But still in the ESIC guides it is Form 16. For further you can look in to the attachments. I hope it would help. Stay Cool, Atom.

accident must be submitted under 24 hours, but there should be reasonable reason for the delay.

Pregnancy claim cannot be raised by the company. It has to be initiated by the employee themselves.

Now, under ESI, 86 days' salary is provided to the pregnant woman if she is on leave due to pregnancy, and if she is the member, not the member's wife. Additionally, all expenses incurred during childbirth until discharge from the hospital are covered.

I hope I have clarified your query.

Dear Cite HR Team,

The Accident Report (now Form 12) can be filled online at the ESIC site. However, the site is not generating any report except a Reference Number, which is now being demanded by the local ESI office in case of an accident. They are not ready to accept a manual Accident Report.

Your help in this regard is highly solicited.

Contact your Regional Director and raise the issue with him. In general, mention the reference number on the accident report and submit it to the local office. If they still do not accept the report, then request a written letter to that effect.

Great article. Thanks for the info; you made it easy to understand. By the way, if anyone needs to fill out an Esic Form 12, I found a blank fillable form here.
