The Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has extended its Scheme for the Promotion of Registration of Employers and Employees (SPREE) until January 31, 2026. This initiative allows unregistered employers and employees, including contract and temporary workers, to enroll without facing retrospective liabilities or penalties. Registration is digital and effective from the employer-declared date, with no prior dues applicable. SPREE aims to encourage voluntary compliance and expand social security coverage by simplifying the registration process and offering immunity from past penalties.
