(a) to (c): Yes, Madam. Details of outstanding amount pending with Public and Private Employer during the last three years is as under:-

| Year    | Total revenue   | Recoverable dues   | Not recoverable   | Total         | Total Recovery   |
|---------|-----------------|--------------------|-------------------|---------------|------------------|
| 2014-15 | 10379.79 Crore  | 810.10 Crore       | 1203.02 Crore     | 2013.12 Crore | 198.13 Crore     |
| 2015-16 | 11445.57 Crore  | 976.53 Crore       | 1273.43 Crore     | 2249.96 crore | 205.80 Crore     |
| 2016-17 | 13662.44 crore  | 1099.57 crore      | 1263.27 crore     | 2362.84 crore | 251.88 crore     |

ESIC is  making  sincere efforts  to  reduce  the  outstanding  amount,  however,  in absolute terms  the recovery is continuously increasing during the three preceding years.   The reason behind this are due to - disputes in court cases, factory under liquidation, factory/establishment which have closed and whereabouts  of  employers  not  known  and  factory/establishment  registered  in BIFR but rehabilitation scheme yet to be sanctioned.

- (d): Yes,  Madam.  Delhi  Government  has  not  released  its  share  payable towards ESIC.

The details along with the year-wise outstanding amount is as at Annex-A.
