ESI Registration

Secure Your Employees’ Health Benefits & Stay Legally Compliant

EPF Registration Service

ESI Registration (Employees’ State Insurance) is a compulsory requirement under the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 for businesses employing 10 or more workers (threshold varies by state). Managed by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), it provides medical care, sickness benefits, maternity leave, and other support to employees. For employers, ESI compliance ensures legal protection, eligibility for government contracts, and employee satisfaction.

At License Mantra, we offer a seamless, 100% online ESI registration service, guiding you through documentation, filing, and obtaining the ESIC Code. Our experts ensure quick processing and full compliance—helping your business avoid penalties and offer quality welfare to your workforce.
