Understanding Employee State Insurance (ESI): A Simple Guide

Employee State Insurance (ESI) is a key component of social security and employee benefits in India. However, unless you're using the appropriate tools, managing ESI deductions, contributions, and records can be a perplexing and error-prone task for many small and medium-sized businesses.

HajariBook fills that need. HajariBook's integrated payroll management, HRMS, and attendance software features make ESI tracking easy, accurate, and compliant.

💡 What is ESI?

A government-run health insurance program for Indian workers making less than a specific amount is called Employee State Insurance. It gives employees and their dependents access to health care, disability benefits, and maternity assistance.

✅ Did You Know?

The ESI scheme covers more than 3.5 crore workers in India, but many do not understand how their deductions operate.

🧾 ESI's Role in Payroll

Employers must:

Withhold 0.75% of employee pay for ESI.

Put in 3.25% of the same amount.

Send monthly reports and payments to the ESIC portal.

HajariBook assists in managing the timely payroll summaries, attendance reports, and accurate salary slip data required for this process in order to prevent compliance issues.
