## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI BANDARU DATTATREYA)

(a): The  number  of  insured  persons  availing  Employees'  State Insurance  (ESI)  facility,  State/UT  wise  as  on  31/3/2015  is  as  per Annexure-I. The ESI Act, 1948 is applicable to workers drawing wages upto Rs.15,000/- p.m., primarily in the organized sector in areas which have  been  notified  by  the  Central  Government  under  Section  1(3)  of the  said  Act.  The  State/UT-wise  data  of  labourers  in  the  organized sector in the country is not maintained Centrally.

(b): There are 151 ESI hospitals and 1459 of ESI Dispensaries under ESI Scheme. State/UT-wise list is enclosed as per Annexure-II & III.

(c) & (d): A proposal for enhancing the wage limit from Rs. 15,000/- to Rs. 25,000/- was put up in the Standing Committee of ESIC on 15 th  June 2016. There were divergent views on the proposal of enhancement of wage  ceiling  and  therefore  it  was  decided  that  the  issue  requires detailed discussions with all stakeholders and all aspects need to be examined threadbare.

(e) & (f): Under  2 nd   Generation  Reforms  Agenda  ESIC-  2.0,  it  was decided to extend the coverage of ESI Scheme throughout country in different phases. In first phase the whole district will be covered under ESI Scheme where the Scheme is partially implemented and in second phase the remaining districts where the Scheme is not implemented will be covered.

In  State  of  Haryana,  Faridabad  District  has  been  fully implemented. Proposal for implementation of remaining 20 Districts is awaited.

Number of Districts of State/UTs showing the details about proposal  for  implementation  of  Scheme  along  with  action  thereon  is enclosed as per Annexure-IV.
