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.
