How to Make an ESIC Card (e-Pehchan Card): Complete Process

The ESIC card, officially called the e-Pehchan card, is the identity card of an insured person under the Employees' State Insurance scheme. It lets you and your family use ESIC hospitals and dispensaries and claim cash benefits. An employee cannot register on their own: the employer registers the employee, an Insurance Number (IP Number) is generated, and then the card can be downloaded. This guide explains each step.

Key Points

Registration is done by the employer on the ESIC portal. It is free for the employee.
ESIC covers employees earning up to ₹21,000 per month (₹25,000 for persons with disability) in covered establishments.
Each insured person gets a unique 10-digit Insurance (IP) Number.
Aadhaar is used for verification of the employee.
Family members (spouse, children, dependent parents) can be added to the card.
The e-Pehchan card can be downloaded online from the ESIC portal or the UMANG app.

Documents Required

Aadhaar card and mobile number linked to it.
Recent passport size photograph.
Bank account details (passbook or cancelled cheque).
Date of joining and wage details (given by the employer).
Family details with Aadhaar of spouse, children and dependent parents, if they are to be added.
Nominee details.

Step-by-Step Process to Get an ESIC Card

Employer registration: the employer must be registered with ESIC (Form 01 on the ESIC portal). The establishment gets a registration number and the C-11 certificate.
Employee registration: the employer logs in to the ESIC portal, goes to "Register / Manage Employee" and adds your details such as name, date of birth, Aadhaar, mobile, wages and date of joining.
Add family and nominee: your family members and nominee are entered with their details.
IP Number generated: after submission, the system generates your 10-digit Insurance Number. Ask your employer for it.
Download the card: go to the ESIC IP portal (esic.gov.in), log in with your Insurance Number and OTP, open "e-Pehchan Card" and download the PDF. You can also use the UMANG app: ESIC → Download e-Pehchan Card.
Photo and signature: where the portal gives a counterfoil, attach your photo, sign it and get it attested as asked, at the ESIC branch or dispensary.
Choose your dispensary: your allotted ESIC dispensary or hospital is shown on the card. Carry the card when you go for treatment.

How to Find Your ESIC Number

It is printed on top of your e-Pehchan card.
Ask your HR or employer, or check your salary slip, if it is printed there.
Use the UMANG app (ESIC services) to view the card with your registered mobile number.

Important Points

An employee cannot self-register for ESIC. If your employer has not registered you although your wages are within the limit, ask them to do so, or complain to the nearest ESIC branch office.
Your employee share is 0.75% of wages, deducted from salary, and the employer pays 3.25%. Workers earning up to ₹176 per day are exempt from the employee share.
If your salary later crosses the limit, coverage continues until the end of the current six-month contribution period.
Make sure your name and date of birth match your Aadhaar, and update your bank account and mobile number to avoid delays in cash benefits.
Wage limits and rates may be revised by the government, so confirm on the official ESIC website.
