Who Is Covered Under ESI and Who Needs to Search?
The Employees’ State Insurance Act 1948 applies to factories and establishments employing 10 or more persons where the employees’ wages are up to Rs 21,000 per month. Both employer and employee contribute to the ESI fund (employer: 3.25% of wages; employee: 0.75% of wages). The fund provides medical, maternity, disability, and dependant benefits to insured employees.

What Are Common Problems in ESIC Search and How to Resolve Them?
- IP number not found: Employer may not have registered the employee. Raise a complaint with the Regional ESIC office with joining date and salary slip evidence.
- Contribution not showing: Employer may have filed returns but not paid challan, or payment delay. Ask HR for challan receipt (TRRN number).
- Wrong dispensary: Use the online dispensary change request. If the change is not processed, contact the ESIC local office or helpline (1800-11-2526).
- Duplicate IP numbers: Two IPs created for the same employee across employers. Submit a merger request at the ESIC branch office with KYC documents.
- Name mismatch with Aadhaar: Update your name in ESIC by submitting an application at the branch with Aadhaar, PAN, and salary slip.
How Do You Use the ESIC Umang App for Searches?
The UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) app includes the “ESIC Services” module. Employees can use it to: find their IP number via Aadhaar OTP, view contribution and claim history, locate nearest ESIC dispensary/hospital, and download the ESI Pehchan card. Install UMANG from the Play Store or App Store, log in with your mobile number, and search for “ESIC Services”.
