ESIC Extends New Amnesty Scheme 2025 by Three Months to December 31, 2026
The Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has extended its New Amnesty Scheme 2025 by three months, now running until December 31, 2026. This one-time initiative allows employers and insured persons to settle pending disputes related to the erstwhile ESI Act through out-of-court settlements. Eligible cases filed up to March 31, 2025, can be resolved by paying actual contributions and interest without damages, or by withdrawing cases with payment of 10% of disputed damages. The extension aims to reduce litigation backlog and promote compliance.
