ESIC announces extended medical benefits for superannuated insured persons under relaxed norms.

The Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) has announced that it will extend medical benefits to superannuated insured persons under more relaxed norms. These benefits apply to those who were under insurable employment for at least five years prior to their superannuation or voluntary retirement and have wages up to Rs 30,000 per month. This decision was made during a recent meeting chaired by Union Minister Bhupender Yadav. As part of this new scheme, the ESIC will also adopt a new AYUSH 2023 policy to promote holistic wellbeing at its medical institutions. Additionally, efforts will be made to enhance service delivery mechanisms in the North-Eastern states and augment infrastructure in the region.
