Indian workers have enjoyed ESI benefits since 1952.
History
The ESI Act of 1948 opened the door for workers' benefits across India. Within
four years, the ESI scheme was introduced. Initially, the scheme was offered to
industrial factory workers in the cities of Kanpur and Delhi. Factory workers
represented a group of employees at high risk for occupational hazards,
temporary disability and other benefits the ESI scheme offered. At the time of
publication, the ESI scheme has grown to encompass Indian workers in several
cities and occupational fields across the country.

The ESI scheme serves two primary roles for Indian workers. As an insurance
package, it provides workers and their dependents with health insurance and

Cont r ibut ion Levels
As of 2011, contributions made to the ESI scheme are based on a fixed rate of the
employee's salary. The scheme requires a 1.75 percent contribution from the
employee and a 4.75 percent contribution made by the employer. Combined, the
ESI scheme contributions total 6.5 percent of each employee's salary.
Contributions are made at the time of each paycheck. Low-income earners,
which include those whose wages total 70 rupees or less per day, are exempted
from making the employee contribution.
Benefit P eriods
ESI benefits are funded with contributions made prior to the commencement of
the benefit period. The calendar year is broken down into two benefit periods. The
first period is funded from April 1 to September 30, with benefits received on
January 1 through June 30 of the subsequent year. The second benefit period is
funded from October 1 to March 31, with benefits received on July 1 through
December 31.
