The ESIC Scheme offers a range of benefits to the employees and their dependents who are covered under it. These benefits are designed to provide socio-economic protection to the workers in case of any contingency arising out of their employment. Some of the major benefits of ESIC Scheme are:

3. Disablement Benefit: This benefit provides a monthly payment for temporary or permanent disablement due to a work-related injury or occupational disease.
