In
order to ensure proper compliance
of the provision of the ESI Act,
1948, inspection of factories and
establishments has become one of
the most important
responsibility of the ESI
Corporation. Under the
enabling provisions of the ESI
Act, employers are expected to
fully co-operate with inspecting
authorities, i.e. Insurance
Inspector (now known as "Social
Security Officer" vide ESI
(Amendment) Act, 2010, Sec 45 A) or any other authorised
officers of the Corporation
appointed under Section 45 of the
Act or any other officers of the
Corporation as mentioned under
Regulation 102 of the ESI General
Regulations. Employers will
facilitate Inspecting Officers the
lawful discharge of their duties
and provide full co-operation in
collection of all essential
information related to coverage,
payment of contributions,
maintenance of ESI records etc.
The
Social Security Officer or any other authorised officer normally sends
advance intimation regarding the
inspection of records of a factory
or an establishment in his area of
operation. On such occasions, the
essential records and documents are to be kept
ready for inspection and produced
on demand before the inspecting
authority.
