Given the robust manufacturing base (Foundry, Pump, Motor, and Auto Components), ESIC authorities frequently attempt to demand contributions from the date of the factory's construction or setup phase. As seen in Madras High Court judgments, establishing clear documentary proof of the actual commencement date of the manufacturing process (post-trial run) is critical to successfully defending against huge retrospective liabilities.

While the state has been a strong opponent of the centralized Labour Codes, it is aggressively pushing for higher compliance and social security for workers. Recent ESIC one-time amnesty schemes (like SPREE) launched in the region underscore the corporation's focus on regularizing the workforce and bringing unregistered or partially registered factories into the formal ESIC fold, indicating an impending shift to stricter enforcement post-amnesty.

We conduct a comprehensive Wage Structure Optimization audit to ensure that statutory ‘Wages’—Basic Pay plus Dearness Allowance—constitute at least 50% of CTC for all technical, supervisory, and administrative staff (up to the ESIC wage ceiling). This prevents the ESIC contribution base from being retrospectively inflated once the New Wage Code is notified. Our restructuring approach minimizes the expected 5–15% surge in manpower costs faced by manufacturing MSMEs due to the broader ‘Wages’ definition under the Code on Wages, 2019.

We align your factory’s ESIC compliance with the mandatory annual health check-up requirements for workers aged 40 and above under the OSH Code, 2020. Our team coordinates directly with the local ESIC Hospital—such as the facility in Singanallur, Coimbatore—to manage occupational health assessments, medical referrals, and risk documentation. This integrates ESIC benefits with the OSH Code’s enhanced focus on occupational safety and health for high-risk industries like Foundry, Casting, and Engineering.
