ESIC Extends New Amnesty Scheme 2025 Until December 31, 2026
The Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has extended its New Amnesty Scheme 2025 by three months until December 31, 2026. This one-time initiative allows eligible employers and insured persons to settle pending legal disputes related to the erstwhile ESI Act through out-of-court settlements. The scheme covers court cases filed up to March 31, 2025, enabling settlement of ad-hoc assessments by paying contributions and interest without damages, and withdrawal of cases with partial payment of disputed damages. The extension aims to reduce litigation backlog and promote compliance.
