Unlike the P.F & M.P Act 1952, the ESI Act does not provide for voluntary coverage at the request of employees and employer.
If there is some recent amendment providing for voluntary coverage then we are not aware and request to provide the same. It shall help everyone.
It is learnt that the Government of Gujarat has extended the applicability of the Act establishments like hotels, restaurants, shops, news paper establishments and road motor transport establishments employing TEN OR MORE PERSONS by notification No.GHR-2012-04-ESI-18-2011-688529-M(3) dated 3rd January 2012.
