Claim process under Atal Beemit Vyakti Kalyan Yojana further liberated

Atal Beemit Vyakti Kalyan Yojana of ESI Corporation provides relief in form of cash compensation to Insured Persons in the contingency of their unemployment. Presently under this Scheme 50% of average earning of the Insured Person is paid for maximum 90 days in case of his unemployment subject to certain contributor y conditions.

It was brought to the notice of ESIC that in some cases employers have struck off their employees from the rolls few months af ter actually terminating them from service.

The matter was reviewed and ESIC has now decided that in cases where the employer has shown "Zero" contribution in respect of an employee for some months before exiting him from the system, the relief under ABVKY for such period of "Zero" contribution, shall also be allowed. However, only those beneficiaries who have been exited from the rolls of the employer, shall be considered for payment of relief under ABVKY subject to fulfilment of other eligibility conditions.
