ESIC TO ISSUE I-CARDS THROUGH REGISTERED POST FROM JULY 1

Puducherry: The Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) of India will issue identity cards through registered post to all new and eligible employees from July 1 as per the nationwide plan of the Corporation. The cards would be sent to all eligible and new employees to ensure that the benefits reached them at the earliest, a top official of the ESIC, who did not wish to be named, said here. He said every new employee of an establishment, factory or organisation under ESIC’s purview would sign a declaration, with personal details of family members who could avail of the benefits of the ESI scheme. Initially a temporary card would be issued to help workers avail benefits immediately. A permanent card would be issued once an employee puts in three months of service, he said.
