ESIC Launches Amnesty Scheme 2025 for Court Case Settlements

The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has introduced the Amnesty Scheme 2025, a one-time initiative aimed at resolving court cases and withdrawing prosecutions. The scheme, effective from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, allows employers and insured persons to settle disputes outside of court, thereby reducing litigation backlog and promoting compliance with the ESI Act. It covers various types of disputes, including coverage, contribution, and damages, with specific guidelines for each category. The initiative is designed to enhance ease of doing business and streamline compliance processes.
