Dear Mr Harsh,
Thnx for sharing the useful article/notification/Guideline. This was much needed. Since the Amendment has been processed thru many steps and was frequently asked topic in the forum (the day it was issued in "Draft" format, 08th Aug, 2016).
Dear Ms Sapna,
Right said by Mr Srinath, if you have obtained Delhi Shops and Establishment Registration than there is no question whether it is applicable to you or not. You have to follow all rules under the Registration unless otherwise you have taken any specific "Exemption" from the dept./govt.
If ten or more persons are/were employed, on any day of the preceding twelve months, than the ACT is applicable to you as well.

is ESIC registration compulsory for NGO registered under Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950???
From India, Mumbai
From India, Mumbai
Sir, under ESI Act, 1948 it has separate provisions for coverage and is not dependent upon any other law. It will be more better if you may contact the concerned social security officer of ESIC of your area to know whether your unit is amenable to said Act.
