ESIC requests the employers to exercise strict control over usage of login credential when registering the employees in the online portal

The Employees State Insurance Corporation (“ESIC”) has alerted all the employers to exercise stricter control and vigil over usage of login credentials while registering the employees in ESIC portal. All employers are requested to ascertain that bank and other details of employees are properly fed into the portal while registering the employees. The employers are further requested to ensure that the data is fed in only based on valid supporting documents.

Background : While scrutinizing the employee database attached to the employers, the ESIC found that the bank account numbers of many employees were tagged to a single common bank account number. In fact, each employee should have a unique bank account number. But many employees having the same account number is seen as a serious flaw.
