What we file
We collect the establishment details, the employee list with wages, the bank account, and the PAN and address that already match your GST or incorporation record. The application goes on the ESIC portal in the employer’s name. After the code is issued, monthly contributions and the return are a calendar item, not a one-time form.
If a chartered accountant already runs your payroll, we coordinate the registration and leave the monthly payroll with them, unless you ask us to watch the dates.
Questions people ask before they pay
Is every shop covered at ten employees?
Not automatically. Factories have a rule in the Act. Shops and other establishments are covered when that state has notified them, and the employee count in the notification is the one that matters. We read the notification for your state before we tell you to register.
Which employees are covered?
Covered employees are those whose wages sit within the ceiling ESIC has notified. The ceiling has moved before, so we confirm the live figure on the ESIC instruction rather than quoting a number from an old poster.
Can you register us “to be safe” below the limit?
We will not. A registration you do not need still creates returns and contributions. If you are close to the line, we say what hiring the next person changes.
Who pays?
Employer and employee contributions are set by the scheme. They are not part of our professional fee, and we do not keep them.
Checked 10 November 2026. Thresholds, fees and form numbers change. Vissgro confirms the live rule on the official portal before anything is filed. A certificate is issued by that authority, or by Dun & Bradstreet in the case of a D-U-N-S Number — not by Vissgro.
