Dear Sir/Madam,
I joined my previous company on 01/01/2012, and from that day onwards, I was under ESIC coverage. I contributed to ESIC until June 2014. Starting in July 2014, my salary increased, so ESIC deductions were not made from that month onwards. In May 2017, I began a new career at another company, and they enrolled me under ESIC starting on 01/10/2018, with the same registration number. My expected delivery date is April 25th, 2019, so I will be working until then. I will continue to use the same registration number.
My question is whether I am eligible for ESIC salary benefits for 24 weeks, considering that my new contribution period is only 7 months. Will my previous ESIC contributions be taken into account in this calculation?
Thank you.

The Act states that you should have 70 days of contributions in TWO contribution periods IMMEDIATELY preceding the date of delivery. This means you should have contributed from April 2018 to September 2018 and from October 2018 to March 2019. However, you may have made more contributions in earlier contribution periods. I am unsure if they will require contributions for only the two periods immediately before the delivery date. Therefore, please check your eligibility using the following link.

Thank you, Madhu Sir, for your valuable reply.
In the ESIC portal, it shows only 3 months' contribution and indicates that I am not eligible for benefits. What about my old contributions? If they are not considered, then why should we renew the same policy number? Can we generate a new number instead?
Please reply, Sir.
