Hello everyone,
We are a Mumbai-based company with employees in Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai. If an employee in Chennai wants to apply for an ESIC card, what is the procedure? Do they need to visit the ESIC office in Chennai and use the ESIC number registered with the Mumbai ESIC office?
Please share your valuable thoughts.
Thanks,
Tarun.

Dear Tarungags,
If your company has an employer ESIC user ID, then you can register and create employees' IP numbers. Send all eligible employees the declaration form, TIC (Temporary Identity Card) forms, and Medical Form with the company's stamp and authorized signature. Then instruct them to visit the nearby ESI branch for a photo session with their family and collect ESIC cards from the same branch within three months. It is a lengthy process but valuable.

Dear Sir,
I agree with your query, but it wasn't Tarungags' quarry, and I think he wants a solution only for ESIC-eligible employees who are located outside of Mumbai. If the employees are working in a non-implemented/covered ESI area, then he is eligible for the same facility as other employees (those whose salaries are more than 15k). It's easy to find out the non-covered areas; when you register with ESIC, at that time, you will receive ESIC's covered area list, every area's login ID, and password from an ESIC officer.
Most importantly, if you don't have that specific area's login ID, then you can't create employees' IP numbers. For example, in Maharashtra, Nanded is not covered by ESIC.

Dear Mahendra,
Thanks for your clarification. Suppose there are fewer than 10/20 employees working outside Mumbai, then they need to create a subcode of ESI, which will be provided only when they comply with the minimum count as per ESI. If not, I don't think ESI will give them a Subcode. Additionally, for the subcode, the organization should maintain all the records related to ESI, which organizations with a small number of employees may try to avoid. What do you say?

Dear Sir,
In the said case, Form 105 has a limited time period of operation and cannot continuously operate throughout the year, right? If the answer to the above question is yes, then it puts the contributing employee at risk. Am I correct, Sir?

You should apply for ESIC registration in Mumbai itself and declare the address of outstation employees. They will be required to visit their nearest ESIC office in their respective states to complete the registration formalities, become an IP, and be eligible to avail benefits. It is presumed that such employees earn below 15k in salary and are not in remote areas where ESIS coverage is not yet available.

Dear Tarun,
For ESIC, you have to register with ESIC in Mumbai and need to register with ESIC for a sub-code in Chennai. Then, register your employee in Chennai ESIC sub-code, and the employee will take advantage of ESI in Chennai; otherwise, the benefit will be obtained from Mumbai ESIC only, not in Chennai. If your employees are already registered in Mumbai ESIC, no problem, you need to obtain a sub-code from Chennai ESIC and re-register them with Chennai ESIC. Their contributions will reflect in Chennai ESIC, and they will receive benefits from Chennai ESIC only. If you need any assistance, please write to me.

Dear Tarun,
You have to apply for a separate sub-code for each state and then apply for a smart card. However, in case you have transferred any staff to any of these branches who were covered under ESIC in Mumbai, then you will have to apply to your Mumbai ESIC local office, giving them the details of the sub-code taken, and requesting them to transfer the data of these staff members to the new sub-code taken.
