1. Sir, it will be more better if you may examine whether the areas in West Bengal where your units are located are implemented areas under section 1(3) of ESI Act, 1948 and rules/regulations framed thereunder ? If the areas are not implemented, you can ask ESIC to clarify whether compliance is required to be made or not since such areas are not implemented. I feel that compliance is not required to be made in respect employees working and posted in non-implemented areas.
2. If the areas where your units in West Bengal are located are implemented areas, you are required to make compliance under said Act, but the employer as well as covered/coverable employees can insist to the ESIC to make such medical arrangements immediately. You can take up the issue with said department at their Kolkata Regional Office.
3. However, now ESIC has started extending the implementation to entire districts of the concerned States. Therefore, you can confirm whether such notification under section 1(3) has been issued extending the scheme to entire districts of West Bengal.

ESI Contributions need not be remitted in respect of Insured Persons working in "Non Implemented" areas though the Establishment is Covered under the ESI Act
Even already covered ESI Employees Contributions can be stopped forthwith, if they are working in Non Implemented areas. While filing Monthly return in the portal, you have to mention days worked as 0 & Reason "Non Implemented area" against such Employees

Unless your office falls under non-implemented area, you are liable to pay contribution. Just because in the area, ESI does not have any hospital or provide any facility, it does not mean you can stop paying contribution.
There is a difference between non-implemented area and ESI not having any hospital and facilities.

Dear Ritesh I bit disagree with your opinion if employee are not getting the ESIC facility in that area why there would be deduction from their salary. Eployee always ask if deduction is there where is the facility, employee is not donating the money. It is his hard working money.
