Can anyone please confirm what is the minimum number of employees required in Assam to start ESIC for a NGO ? — Regards, Pratishtha Sawhney

The date of effect of the reduced rate of contribution would be either 01.08.2016, i.e., from the date on which the new areas have been notified or from the date of registration of the establishment, whichever is later. Please confirm whether my presumption is correct.
