    • Hi Rahul,
      It is not mandatory to you have your family members photographs on ESIC card, tell your employer to add your parents names and aadhar numbers in ESIC portal, it will be enough. You can also ask your employer to add Two dispensaries one is in Pune and other one is in Kerala, so your parents can also get treatment in their nearest ESI dispensary.

My wife is now 5 months Pregnant and due date is on March. Due to having some complications (pregnancy sickness), not able to continue to work since Aug 2017. Doctor prescribed for complete bed rest. We’re having ESIC insurance number. But not received any Pehchan card or anything. My wife was hospitalized in a Private Hospital also for 4 days on last week . When I went to our ESI Dispensary, they were asking me to submmit the E-Pehchan letter inorder to get the benefits.
    As per our profile, Is there any way to get any benefits(Maternity, Current Hospitalization Reimbursements, Medications Reimbursements) through the insurance amount deducted. Really very Urgent, Please guide me with all the ways inorder to get any benefits.

    • Hi Vijay,
      You can get ESI benefits from your ESI dispensary, In order to get those benefits you need to get temporary ESIC ID card(Print Counter Foil) from your employer and before printing temporary ESI id card give your family aadhar numbers to your employer, so that they link your aadhar numbers with ESIC IP number. With the temporary ESIC ID card, your wife can get all ESIC benefits.

      • Thank you so much for your earliest reply,
        Does the employer ready to give the Temporary card(Print Counter Foil), since my wife is not working from Aug 2017. Aadhar number has already been linked (I think so). when I checked the details on ESIC website, its showing my details and wife with Aadhar number and all are verified.
        If I got the temp card, Does we are eligible to get the reimbursement for the hospitalization done on Sep 2017 & the medications and upcoming maternity benefits?

    • Hi Ritesh,
      If your employer is deducting ESI from your salary then from first-month onwards you can avail ESIC benefits. In order to avail ESIC benefits take print counterfoil(temporary ESI card) from your employer and submit it to ESIC office. If you visit ESIC office along with your family members with this print counter foil then they will take your photograph and within 30 days you will get your ESIC pehchan card.

      You have to fill ESIC contribution transfer form and submit it to your present employer, download ESIC contribution Transfer form
      But you have to find your previous ESIC number other wise you can’t able to transfer your ESIC contribution. You can ask your previous employer or you can check your pay slips there you may get your previous ESIC IP number.

  5. I visited ESI office for getting ESI pahchan done for my company employees as they earlier organised a camp and click pics with biometric fingerprint after that ESI permanent cards are issued. But they are saying now that there is no need for above process only Aadhar card number need to mention while generating IP and give print of counter foil to employees. Also do that print out need to be signed and stamped by employer.

    • Hi Rekha Dutta,
      There is no need to take another ESI card, you can tell your employer to add your mother’s name and her Aadhar number in their employer ESI portal. This will be enough to get treatment for your mother. She doesn’t need to take any photograph at ESIC office.
      Now you have to visit your concerned ESIC dispensary along with your mother, then they will guide you about treatment.

  8. Sir I have salary below 21 k…i dunno my insurance number ,but m In a asituation that I cannot contact my old employer…how will I get in other way…is there a way I can get my insurance number without contacting my old employer?? Please help me thru this

    • Hi Bharath,
      If you don’t remember your ESI number then it is not possible to get it. You have to ask your previous employer to know your ESI number. Other wise tell your new employer to generate new ESI number. But after some days your previous ESI number appear as the duplicate in your employer ESI portal. ( There is no exact time for this it may be 1 month or 12 months). When your previous ESI number appears as a duplicate then your present employer will mark it as duplicate and you have to fill ESI contribution transfer form to transfer your previous ESI contribution to new ESI number at that time.

    • Hi Ramya,
      You have to take a temporary ESIC card ( print counter foil) from your employer, but before that make sure that your employer has added all your family members details so that they also get ESI benefits.You can staple A5( Half of A4 Sheet) size photo graph of your family members and take your employer signature ( HR or your Manager) on print counter foil. Once you got the temporary ID card visit your regional ESIC office along with your family members. There ESIC officer will take your family photo graph and within 30 days you or your employer can collect your ESIC card from them. In the mean while you can get medicines and treatment in your respective ESIC dispensary with Temporary ESIC Card i.e print counter foil.

      Ask your employer to give print counter foil and tell them to enter all your family members details along with their aadhaar numbers in that print counter foil. Now take that print counter foil to ESIC office along with your family members for photo graphs. After 30 days you will get your ESIC card.
