Case for ESIC benefits to employees filed by ESIC inspector


10-Apr-2023 (In Civil Law)
I have beauty salon with employee strength of 6 to 7 persons. ESIC inspector visited and asked to register for compliance. I said that we were not eligible so please excuse us. He then went into scrutiny of all documents and found that in one particular month there was 9 employees shown in the attendance register, which was due transition/ change in staff. He has now filed a case stating that we had 11 employees, ie., 9 employees and 2 directors.. he has now sent a summon for RS 266000.00 for payment of dues with arrears since May 2013. Please advice ...

MY OPINION THAT i have follow your matter, & i come to know that actually you have strength of 6 to 7 employees in regular basis in your said Salon, and the no 9 which the inspector has find at one particular month, which has no basic evidence to sue,so you have so many counter legal actions to resist.

ESI is applicable in cases where there are 10 or more person are engaged. I don't think it's a fit case for ESI, if you have documents to prove that the inspector tampered the records and given a misleading statements. You should contest the same.
