Dear All,

ESI since there is no ESI despensary within the radius of 7 kms. Is it true? Is it told anywhere in ESI act?

Dear Mahesh,
Ur question is one of the best questions in related to the ESI, i.e. Y many members has seen ur post but none of them have replied.
I will try to clarify ur doubt:
i. U can not say any Factory/estt./area not applicable with a reason that there is no ESI dispensary within 7 kms or 8 kms.... of it.....
ii. Generally it is an internal issue of providing a ESI dispensary/any other mode of medical care centre like Panel Doctor system within 8 kms. radius of industrial population of an implemented area;
iii. Before implementing any area, ESI will look into all these aspects, such as no. of factories/units and no. of employees who are coverable employees and what are the medical infrastructure to be made available to such insurable employees after implementing that area;
iv. After coming to one conclusion only, i.e. after providing better medical facilities either way i.e. providing a Panel system or attaching such employees to the nearest dispensary (irrespective of the distance) scheme will be implemented to the new areas;
With this back ground u can conclude that distance between ESI dispensary and ur unit is not make any SENSE for coverage of ur unit under ESI Act..... Only thing u have to confirm that WHETHER UR UNIT IS IN IMPLEMENTED AREA OR NOT....... If it is in implemented area better to register immediately voluntarily otherwise u have to pay the contribution including THE INTEREST amount also...
In case any ESI dispensary is not available nearby, u please represent to ur Regional Office to open a new Dispensary...........
I hope all ur doubts are cleared!
all the best...

ii. for reckoning the damages, the date of deposit of cheque will be considered, if the cheque was honoured.....

Dear Mr Syamprasad
There is no provision in the ESI Act for taking the date of deposit of cheque for claiming the damages under section 85 (B) of the Act. Date of clearance of the cheque into the credit of ESI Fund A/c No. I is the creteria for calculation of both interest and damages.
