Recently, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour has called for enhanced monitoring of the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) to ensure broader social security coverage for workers.
Key Points
- Reviewing ESIS Provisions for Better Coverage: The committee has advocated a review of Employees State Insurance Scheme (ESIS) provisions concerning coverage, contributions, wage entitlements, and wage limits.
- Concerns about Implementation of Social Security Plan: It called for proactive measures, including extensive surveys, data collection, and the use of Aadhaar for identification, to be taken urgently.
- Addressing Manpower and Infrastructure Shortages: Considering manpower shortages and inadequate infrastructure in ESIC facilities, the panel urges the government to fill vacancies in hospitals and dispensaries.
- Optimizing ESIC Investments: The ESIC had approved an initial investment starting at 5%, gradually increasing to 15% in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
