Dear Genius,

My firm is set up in Tiruvannamalai, and here we don't have an ESI hospital in Tiruvannamalai district, Tamil Nadu. Please suggest whether ESI deduction is mandatory even though we don't have an ESI hospital.

No, ESI does not depend on ESI hospitals, but there are areas that are designated by the department. So, go through the area sheet. You can also call the state ESI office to get more information. They are cooperative.

Hi,

1. Sir, ESIC has its own norms regarding setting up of Hospitals under ESI Act, 1948. Though the scheme is notified in areas having a number of employees, say 1000 or more, and an ESI dispensary is set up, hospitals in such areas are not set up separately. In such areas, ESIC either has to make indoor medical treatment arrangements with the State Govt. Hospitals or at some other places. It will be even better if you contact the office of the Regional Director or State Medical Commissioner of ESIC to know the particulars and address of the hospital where indoor medical arrangements for workers of your area have been made.

2. If the area where your factory/unit is located is an implemented area, compliance under the said Act is required to be made compulsorily even though the indoor medical arrangements have been made at some other place or through State Govt/private hospitals.
