Dear ANNONYMOUS Friend,
In ESIC, there are two contribution period and to this two contribution period there are corresponding two benefit period.
Your employee was in ESI till March 2020. Hope you continued his contribution till March 2020 even there as an increase in salary beyond Rs. 21000/- in the month of January 2020.
You said the employee met with an accident after a while. What do you mean by after a while?
If the accident occurred before March 2020, he is certainly entitled to all benefits under the ESI.
If the accident occurred after April 2020, then the IP is entitled for medical benefit till December 2020. Medical benefit means full medical care in ESI hospital or with panel doctor.
