Dear Sir,
One of my employee joined in my company on 1st june. But we didn't registered him in ESI act since our HR manager was on leave from 30th may to 8th June.
The employee met with accident in my factory on 4th June, so we registered him the same day in ESI though outsourcing agency.
Now, i have got show cause notice under section 68 of ESI act from regional director, ESI.
What should be the suitable reply ? Plz help

Necessarily, the show cause notice is to be replied. Leave of the HR Manager cannot be a reason to justify the lapse.

Well an. analysed and advised by expert Mr P Venu, I agree.
The notice to show cause is nothing to do with person "X" or "Y" but the person in-charge for the action at that point of time.
Just submit your reply to the notice providing facts of the case, sky should not fall.

ESI Act is a social welfare measure and need to be complied with. You can check with an expert on the time available for registration, recovery of remittance as it can not happen instantly for right defense.
