What is an ESI Notice?
An ESI Notice is an official communication from the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) issued to employers for reasons such as:
- Non-payment or delay in ESI contributions
- Incomplete or incorrect employee records
- Scheduled or surprise inspections
- Show cause notices for suspected defaults or irregularities
- Demands for recovery of contributions, interest, or penalties
Timely and appropriate response to such notices is crucial to avoid legal consequences.
Common Types of ESI Notices
| Type of Notice | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Demand Notice | Issued for recovery of unpaid ESI dues with applicable interest/penalty |
| Inspection Notice | Notification for scheduled or surprise inspection under the ESI Act |
| Show Cause Notice | Seeks written justification for compliance failures or misreporting |
| Summons under Section 45 | Requires appearance before ESI authority or submission of specific records |
| Prosecution Notice | Issued in cases of serious defaults, suppression of data, or intentional fraud |
How We Help You Respond to ESI Notices

Consequences of Non-Compliance
| Non-Compliance | Action Taken by ESIC |
|---|---|
| No reply to Show Cause Notice | Penalty up to ₹5,000 or prosecution under ESI Act |
