the Act are being brought into force in district area-wise in stages. The Act contains an
enabling provision under which the “appropriate government” is empowered to extend the
provisions of the Act to class of establishments, industrial, commercial, agricultural or

are covered under the Employees’ State Insurance Act covering 3.39 crores insured persons
family entities with total 13.16 crores beneficiaries. The remaining workers in the organized

1
sector to which the ESI Act does not apply remain outside the social security umbrella inter-
alia, due to the following reasons: -

i. Employees of Central and State Govts. who are provided social protection under the
rules of the respective Governments;
ii. Employees of factories/establishments employing less than 10 persons.
iii. Employees of factories/establishments situated in the non-implemented areas/districts

appropriate Govt. under Section 1(5) of ESI Act, 1948.

The employees employed in the organized sector and working in the smaller factories and
establishments can be brought under the ESI Scheme gradually by lowering the threshold limit
for coverage under the ESI Act. Likewise, the workers who are drawing wages above the
wage limit of Rs. 21,000/- per month can be brought under the ambit of the ESI Scheme by
enhancing the wage ceiling limit. More categories of Establishments can also be notified by
"appropriate Government" for bringing them under the coverage of ESI Act, 1948.

(c) The ESI Act under the Code on Social Security, 2020:
The ESI Act, 1948 along with 8 other Central Labour enactments, have been subsumed

consultation.
Benefits available under the ESI Act have been retained in the Code. Any member or
beneficiary of the Social Security Code including under ESI Scheme would be required to seed
their Aadhaar for seeking benefits as per provisions of Section 142 of the Code on Social
Security.

pan India to all establishments employing 10 or more employees, as against the notified
district/areas. However, contribution from employers and employees will be collected from the
notified date when the benefits are provided by ESIC.

provision for voluntary coverage of establishment with less than 10 persons has been
incorporated. Coverage for plantations as an establishment, on opting by the employer has
been provisioned in the Code. A major change has been brought in the coverage under ESI

Once the concerned state Govt. arranges the primary and secondary care medical
facilities, or makes a request to ESIC to arrange the medical facilities in new areas, on
completion of such medical facilities, a notification is issued by the Central Govt. for
implementation of scheme.
b. The threshold for coverage of factories is 10 or more persons and State Govts. have
reduced the threshold limit of coverage of establishment from 20 to 10 persons or
more under Sec. 1(5) of ESI Act.

B) Primary Care
i) Service Dispensaries
The out-patient medical care including essential lab investigations in relatively heavy
dispensaries under the ESI Scheme is provided through the service system i.e. through
dispensaries established under the Scheme for the exclusive use of the Insured Persons and
their families, manned largely by full-time Medical Officers.
ii)Dispensary Cum Branch Office (DCBOs)
ESI Corporation in its 174th Meeting, held on 29th May 2018, decided that a Dispensary cum
Branch Office (DCBO) is to be opened in all notified districts which will be directly run by ESI
Corporation. DCBOs are planned to supplement existing Primary Medical Care Services
administered by State Govts. so as to add to the quality & quantity of such Primary Medical
Care services. At present, DCBOs has been made functional in 76 districts. A DCBO Would

15
perform the functions of both dispensary and branch office. Besides providing medicines to
patient attending DCBO, it would distribute medicines to IMP/EUD referred patients. It would
also make referrals for secondary care, payment of bills of empaneled chemist/diagnostic
center and would provide it help care services to IPs/employers.100% of the establishment
and operational cost of DCBO would be borne by ESIC and the State concerned would not be
bearing any expenditure under this head.

iii) Hospital OPDs:

Outpatient services under various specialties and super specialties like Medicine, Surgery,
Pediatrics, Gyne. & Obst., ENT, Eye, Cardiology, Nephrology, Neurology, Urology, CTVS etc.
are being provided through network of ESI hospitals all over the country.
iv) Additional Primary Care arrangements:
Usually, in newly implemented/ existing areas where ESIC does not have its own
infrastructure, primary care medical services are being delivered through Empanelment of
Insurance Medical Practitioners (IMPs) or Employer Utilization Dispensary (EUD).
a) INSURANCE MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS (IMP):-Private Medical Practitioners are
appointed as panel doctors. A panel doctor is expected to have his own consulting room
and dispensary. Each panel doctor is allowed to register up to 2000 IP family units. At
present, the panel system is in operation in West Bengal, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh,
Goa, Gujarat, M.P, Telangana, Bihar, Assam, Odisha, Rajasthan and Jharkhand etc. The
IMPs under the panel system are paid capitation fee (Rs.500/- per IP per year) w.e.f. 8th
September, 2016 for providing medical care to the ESI beneficiaries which include
consultation, basic lab investigation and cost of medicine. Further in order to make IMP
scheme more attractive, modified IMP (mIMP) has recently been launched.

unit per annum. In this scheme employer opens up the dispensary in his premises and
provides the primary care services to the workers of its own establishment and is paid
@ Rs.450/- per IP per annum. Further in order to make EUD scheme more attractive,
modified EUD (mEUD) has also been operationalized.

8. SETTING UP OF ESIC HOSPITAL & ESI DISPENSARIES

i) GENERAL POLICY
The ESI Corporation in its 167th meeting held on 18.12.2015 had approved the setting up of
two ESIC Hospitals and one Super Speciality Hospital in each State. These numbers may be
more considering the futuristic IP population and geographical necessity. The entire
expenditure on these hospitals is being borne by the ESI Corporation outside the ceiling limit.

ii) NORMS FOR SETTING UP OF NEW HOSPITALS BY ESI CORPORATION

As approved by ESI Corporation, new norms for setting up of ESI Hospitals based on minimum
no. of IPs is as under: -

Sl. No. No. of beds Min. No. of IPs

1. 30 bedded hospital 20,000
2. 100 bedded hospital 50,000

10. 600 bedded hospital 5,00,000

The IP population should be taken in a radius of 25 Km and there should not be any other ESI
Hospital within a radius of 50 Km. If there is another ESI Hospital within 50 Km, then each ESI
Hospital should fulfill these norms in the respective catchment areas (for example, if the two
ESI Hospitals are at a distance of 40 Km, then each hospital should satisfy these norms within
a radius of 20 Km).

Further, the ESI Corporation in its 167th meeting held on 18th December, 2015 has approved
that the health facilities should be created not based on the present IP population but on the
basis of projected population of the IP after a period of three years for dispensaries and five
years for hospitals and also the geographical necessity.

9. OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE CENTRES (ODCs)

As per policy decisions of the Corporation taken on 8.12.88 and 24.2.93, the ESI Corporation
has set up five Zonal Occupational Diseases Centres with a view to providing facilities for early
detection and diagnosis of Occupational Diseases among ESI beneficiaries. These Zonal
Occupational Diseases Centres cater to the needs of ESI beneficiaries of the neighbouring
States also. The suspected cases of Occupational Diseases are referred to these Centers by
the States concerned.
ESI Corporation has set up one IOHER Centre at Basaidarapur & four Zonal Occupational
Disease centers for providing early detection & prompt treatment, apart from taking steps for
preventive & promotive aspect pertaining to occupational health. These institutions are as

1 North Zone ESIC Hospital Basaidarapur, New Delhi (IOHER)

2 South Zone K.K. Nagar, Chennai

3 East Zone Joka, Kolkata

4 West Zone Andheri, Mumbai

5 Central Zone Nandanagar, Indore

Institute of Occupational Health, Environment & Research (IOHER) has been established to act
as a nodal Institute for improving occupational health.
A large number of Medical Professionals, Paramedical, Nursing Staff and other Health Care
Workers needs to be sensitized and trained in Occupational Health.
The occupational health services basically aim at safeguarding the health of the workers. This
is possible by conducting environmental surveillance along with the other clinical measures
(preventive, promotive, curative, rehabilitation, compensation).

PREAMBLE:
1. PANCHDEEP 1.0: ESIC’S E-GOVERNANCE PROJECT (09 – 21)
In order to provide hassle-free health and social security services to the stakeholders as well
as for transforming its business into total e-governance, ESIC rolled out a very ambitious
project “Panchdeep” through a national digital network, on a big bang approach, in all the
2300+ locations. Project Panchdeep is one of the largest e-governance programs of the
country to provide online facilities to the Employers, Insured Persons, ESI Staff, Third party &
government agencies, Suppliers and other stake holders. It provides registration of
employers & beneficiaries, deposition of contribution, disbursement of cash benefits and
documentation of medical services for all insured people. The task for conceiving,
integrating, capacity building, application development & implementing the project was
assigned in 2009 to a System Integrator on a BOOT model (live in 2011) and included on-
premise Data Centre, Recovery Centre, procurement, provisioning & management of
Infrastructure, MPLS connectivity, Facility management and IT Infrastructure procurement in
all 2300 locations, for 5 years. Presently it is being maintained (O & M) on best efforts basis
through a System Integrator.

2. PANCHDEEP PROJECT 1.0 BREAK-UP

The project has five components, namely, Pehchan which includes all services related
to identification, authentication and verification of Insured Persons (IPs). It initially included
capturing of biometry of the beneficiaries (for deduplication) and work related to issuance of
two Smart Identity Cards (one for IP and one for his family) for availing Benefit from any ESI
institution, anywhere in the country, anytime. Later, with inclusion of the e-Pehchan, these
were discontinued. Aadhaar is yet to be implemented; Milap comprises of all services related
to provisioning network and bandwidth; Pashaan consists of services related to hardware for
Data Centre, Disaster Recovery, desktops /PCs and Middleware; Dhanwantri includes all
services related to Hospitals, Dispensaries, OPD, IPD, Laboratories, Imaging Services and
Pragati for all services related to ERP, Insurance, Benefit, HRMS, Material Management and
Finance.

 4. PANCHDEEP APPLICATION SUITE

5. PANCHDEEP APPLICATION SUITE (SALIENT FEATURES)

The suite of applications is a centralized web-based solution that enables users of various ESI
offices to access the applications from web browsers in addition to through the dedicated
LAN/WAN. The solution is driven by a flexible & configurable workflow engine to ensure it
meets all workflow requirements of ESI scheme such as administration, requirement of
medical facilities, contribution made by employers and administration of ESIC employees. The
solution also consists of a self-service portal for the employees covered under the scheme. The
key application system is captured in the diagram below:

44
 Presently, while running status quo, the Operation & Maintenance Support for Data
Centre & Disaster Recovery Centre is outsourced to a Service Provider. O & M also includes
support for all Panchdeep Applications and 3rd party Integration and consultancy support to
ESIC for taking AMC, ATS for Middleware and Hardware at DC /DRC as & when required at an
additional cost to ESIC. However, Field locations Hardware, Network, Bandwidth (Including DC
& DRC), Facility Management are out of scope of the service provider and are to be done by
ESIC. Similarly ESIC has taken over the job of procurement of IT assets and renewal of AMC,
ATS, License subscription of these assets of DC & DRC ESIC. The connectivity solution through
SDWAN in all the locations is done by another third-party vendor.
As on 01.02.2022, following new value-added provisions have been made for ease of doing
business by the stakeholders:

Beneficiary-centric value-added initiatives

1) The Atal Bimit Vyakti Kalyan Yojana (ABVKY) scheme has been made simpler &
easier. The beneficiaries need not visit their ex-employers for validation of their Claim
applications, nor they are required to visit any of the ESIC offices, in person, to submit
claim documents. They have also been empowered with the tools of ‘self-declaration’,
‘self-attestation’, ‘online-uploading’ thus abolishing the earlier requirement of Non-
Judicial Stamp Papers, certification by a Notary and physical presence, in line with the

45
 vision of the Prime Minister. These small changes in the process not only saved the
beneficiaries of monetary expenses, but also prevented them of unwarranted hassles in
the current situation of Covid-19 Pandemic. The eligibility conditions have been
drastically relaxed so that more and more of the beneficiaries take relief under the
scheme to mitigate the hardship during these difficult days of national disaster. The
relief amount has been doubled and incorporated for auto-calculation by the system
defined logic. The ease of making an online claim and getting relief thereafter has been
grossly simplified. Necessary validations and system defined verifications have been
implemented for lesser human intervention and instantaneous relief amount calculation
as well as direct transfer of relief money to the beneficiary’s bank account.
2) Integration of Panchdeep Module with PMJAY for real-time eligibility check before
availing services through ‘Ayushman Bharat’ in specified districts for the benefit of the
Insured Persons.
3) A Performance Dashboard is published in www.esic.in depicting status on various Key
Performance Indicators, adding value to the organization’s credibility and deliverables.
4) A management Dashboard comprising of construction dashboard & Hospital dashboard
has been developed & deployed for the top management.
5) Unified Account Number (UAN) Seeding: About 70 Lakh UAN have been seeded against
the Insured persons by the Employers in the Panchdeep Application (Insurance Module).
The target of 75 Lakh UAN seeding, shall be met by 15 th Feb, 2022 celebrate Azadi ka
Amrit Mahotsav.
6) An API is also under making for integration with EPFO Database for authentication
deduplication of seeded UAN by the Employers.
7) For the target delivery of benefits to the bonafide Beneficiaries and for dissemination of
information from time to time, the Mobile number seeding of the newly registered
employees were made mandatory in ESIC database. The authentication of Mobile
Numbers is done through a mechanism of validation through the OTPs, up till now about
2.61 Crore mobile numbers have been seeded.
8) The seeding of Bank Account details of the newly registered employees was made
mandatory in ESIC database. The system automatically validates the IFS Codes and
fetches credentials of the bank for uniform data seeding. System prevents duplication of
bank account credentials and thus ensures target delivery of cash benefits by removing
bogus data.
9) Online verification of bank Account credentials of beneficiaries through NPCI is being
planned to be integrated. Uptill now about 2.67 Crore of Bank accounts have been
seeded in database.
10) The provisioning of Bulk uploading and seeding of Bank account details of existing
IPs/Employees made in Panchdeep application facilitated employers to quickly update
data of the existing beneficiaries.
11) E-Payment facility has been provisioned for direct disbursing of benefits to the bank
accounts of beneficiaries through SBI gateway.
12) For the convenience of the Employers / establishments, ESIC has integrated with
different Banks (SBI, BoB, ICICI, IDBI, Axis, Canara, HDFC, etc.) for online payment of
contribution by the employers using Internet Banking (Corporate and Retail) for Real

46
 time remittance. Integration with other Banks is in the process for enabling employers to
make contribution payment through bank of their choice.
13) UTI-ITSL has been a partner of ESIC as 3rd party Bill Processing Agency for
processing and scrutinizing online claims and bills of private hospitals from where ESI
procures medical services in special cases mainly for tertiary care services. The software
module of UTI-ITSL has been successfully integrated with various modules of
Panchdeep. This has facilitated online referral to processing to scrutinizing and clearing
of payment against the bills raised, resulting in transparency, promptness and efficiency
of providing cashless medical services of ESIC, in case ESIC desires to procure a service
for the beneficiary that is not-available inhouse.
14) The ‘Ask An Appointment’ Mobile App has been fortified with provisions for seeking
appointment in Hospitals. A beneficiary, who has been referred to a hospital online by a
dispensary doctor, can seek an appointment for registration in OPD of a referred
department of a referred hospital, on a particular day. Furthermore, if a doctor in a
hospital has advised a beneficiary for a review visit (follow up) online, the patient can
seek an appointment to prevent waste of time in queues. Appointment facility through a
mobile app was earlier available for seeking appointment in dispensaries only. Presently,
Delhi State (DMD) has implemented this facility in dispensaries. Hospitals are being
trained to adopt the provisions .The States of Telangana and Goa are also being trained
to adopt the Appointment module. These hospitals/states are about to make necessary
configurations in the holiday master for the state/hospital /dispensary, defining time
slots based on resource availability in each of the departments/ hospitals/ dispensaries,
and the days when these departments function /operate. The one-time configuration for
each dispensary / hospital is resource intensive and is dependent on the adoption /
ownership of the controlling office. However, the module is Nation-Ready.
15) ESIC has given an option to Employers to create their account on National Career
Services (NCS) Portal on single click through Employer portal in www.esic.in. This
integration of ESIC with NCS helps Employers to further post the vacancies in their
industries on NCS portal resulting in value addition proposition to the beneficiaries.
16) The www.esic.in portal has been revamped for a new look and ease of accessing.
Security compliances of www.esic.in, as mandated by GIGW and VAPT, have already
been made.
17) The www.esic.in is being gradually made multilingual. To start with provision for
selection of Marathi, Punjabi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Gujarati & Kannada languages
have been made in the IP Portal in addition to Hindi and English.
18) The UMANG Mobile App: Many Panchdeep value-added information and functionalities
are provided to the beneficiaries through the Unified Mobile Application platform for
New-age Governance (UMANG) of Government of India. The facilities of the UMANG App
has been successfully enhanced (May-June 2021) with added features. Any ESI centre or
a tie-up hospital (PMJAY or UTI-ITSL) can be searched in the app, based on distance
and /or services available therein. This data-intensive enhancement is an
important achievement considering the intricacies & complexities, which has become
possible due to inter-departmental coordinated efforts of the ESIC ICT Team with the

47
 ESI field locations, Tie-up hospitals, Ayushman Bharat, UTI-ITSL and NeGD and their
respective IT Service Providers, Business Analysts, etc.
It is a matter of pride that recently, ESIC bagged “Award of Excellence 2020” and
was selected as UMANG Silver Partner for achieving 5 – 10 lakh average transactions per
month for the services being offered through UMANG ESIC Chinta Se Mukti App.
19) DHANWANTRI Mobile App: The Dhanwantri Mobile App is an extension of the
Dhanwantri Web App and is meant for ESIC & ESIS Doctors, modified Insurance Medical
Practitioners (mIMPs), Chemists/ Diagnostic Centres of mIMP scheme. It has been
enhanced (May-June 2021) further successfully to help Doctors prescribe pre-defined
terms of drugs, diagnosis and tests. mIMPs can capture clinical data through hand-held
devices. The App has now features as per the expected outcome. International
Classification of Disease ver-10 (ICD 10) and the Systemic Nomenclature of Medical and
Clinical Terminology (SNOMED-CT) as available in the Dhanwantri web module, are also
linked to this Mobile App for capturing of standardised terms of diagnosis/ disease,
without requiring extended typing by the physicians.
20) Changing Dispensary by IP at ease: New Facility has been provisioned for the
Insured Persons to generate request online, at his comfort to Change Dispensary / IMP
Clinic of his choice, subject to the permissible limit and conditions. This shall empower
the beneficiary to access services at ease and prevent his unnecessary travels to the
offices/ employer.
21) Multilingual SMSs to the IPs: The Beneficiaries are being facilitated for opting
language in which value-addition SMSs may be sent to them. Now IP can choose or
change Language of his choice for receiving SMSs. He shall have any one of the 12
different languages to choose, in addition to the National Language. By default, it shall
be in Hindi for North India and in English for South India. The module is made ready and
deployed. However, translation of SMSs in regional languages are in progress and shall
be implemented soon.
22) COVID-19 Dashboard in www.esic.in: A new value-added feature has been
implemented for the benefit of the citizen of the Nation to help during these difficult
periods of the COVID-19 Pandemic. An information Dashboard has been developed
which depicts the near-Realtime status of the availability of vacant beds, oxygen and ICU
facilities. RT-PCR testing capability, availability and Vaccination programme related
information. Even though, it is a small step, but it has earned wide appreciation from the
patients and attendants requiring such information.
23) Engagement of a professional IT Consulting Entity: ESIC is in the process of
engaging a professional IT Consulting Entity of repute for revamping of 12 years
old IT system of ESIC ‘Panchdeep 1.0’ to ‘Panchdeep 2.0’. The engaged professional
body shall not only examine and recommend on the quantum and nature of the resource
requirements in ESIC IT set up, but also be responsible for advising on commissioning &
operationalization of critical technical modernization processes and activities of ‘Project
Panchdeep’. The actionable deliverables shall include suggesting appropriate technology
solutions and hiring of managed services, infrastructural and connectivity solution and
other technological upgradation in line with the vision of ESIC, as well as identify the
requirement for technical manpower at Hqrs Office, DC/DR and field units for building an

48
 inhouse IT team. The entity may be engaged through the Government agencies such as
NICSI, C-DAC, etc., or from the open market. The proposal was approved by the
Standing Committee in its 220th Meeting, held on 26.11.2020.
24) ESIC has been permitted by UIDAI to become sub-AUA of Ministry of Labour &
Employment for performing online authentication of Aadhar in addition to storing the
complete eKYC, as per Regulation 16(2) of the Aadhaar ( Authentication & Offline
verification) Regulation, 2021, in the Aadhaar Data Vault to be procured by ESIC. UIDAI

Code on Social security, 2020 (Act 36 of 2020) has been notified for information. The effective
date of implementation is also expected to be notified shortly. The code subsumes ESI Act,
1948 along with eight other central enactments in the field of Social Security. Once notified,
the entire area of the country shall be implemented for the purposes of ESI Scheme under
Section 1(3) of the Code.

Medical arrangement through State Govt. is being expedited by respective Regional Directors
for extending the coverage of ESI Scheme. In cases where NOC is given by the State Govt.,
ESIC is directly making the medical arrangement in the non-implemented area. For this ESIC
has framed following policy for setting up of new DCBOs/operationalisation of earlier approved
DCBOs in consultation with Ministry of Labour & Employment, Govt. of India: -

1. DCBOs would be established/ operationalized in only such districts which have no

ESI Dispensary and have IP Population of 3000 or more within a radius of 10 Km.
In case a Branch office is already there in such district, then the branch office may
be converted into DCBO.
2. In districts having less than 3000 IPs with 10 Km, medical facilities may be
provided through IMP Clinic / private empanelled hospitals.

3. There shall be minimum two (2) doctors in each DCBO.

4. There should be no IMP within a radius of 10 Km of DCBO, and if so, the same
shall be dis-empanelled.
5. DCBO should be located at such place which is easily accessible by public transport
from every corner of the district and have the maximum IP population.

The revised policy has been reviewed and accepted by 185th meeting of ESI corporation held
on 07.09.2021.
RECENT INITIATIVES FOR EXPANDING COVERAGE UNDER THE SCHEME.
Under Vision 2022, the scheme is being notified in entire area of the Districts where
the scheme is either partially notified in centers or non-notified. The Scheme has been
extended to 439 Complete Districts & in 153 districts where it is partially implemented in
Districts Hqrs. Area & prominent industrial centers.
Vision 2022 proposes to expand the coverage of ESIC to the entire nation covering all
Districts by the year 2022.
