The government has decided to provide 50% of their salaries for three months as unemployment allowance to the lakhs of industrial workers who are members of the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) and had to say goodbye to their jobs in the Covid-19 pandemic. This allowance would be paid to all those who have lost their jobs between March, 24’2020 to December, 31’2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The statement also added that the ESIC has decided to extend the scheme for one more year, i.e. up to June, 30’2020.

The ESI Corporation has decided to extend the scheme for one more year up to 30th June 2021. It has been decided to relax the existing conditions and the amount of relief for workers who have lost employment during the Covid-19 pandemic period. The enhanced relief under the relaxed conditions will be payable during the period of 24.03.2020 to 31st December 2020.
