What the ESIC Verification API does

Employees earning under the statutory threshold are covered by the state insurance scheme, and their registration record shows who employs them. The ESIC Verification API confirms the number and returns the registration details, giving factories, security agencies and staffing firms a dependable employment check for frontline workers.

Use it alongside EPFO data to cover the whole workforce, not just higher-paid staff.

Consent is part of the contract

Employment and insurance records are personal data; the individual's consent is captured before the lookup and stored with the request.

Benefits of the ESIC Verification API

Confirm an employee's state insurance registration and the employer behind it.

Covers frontline staff

Employment evidence for workers below the provident fund threshold.

Source record

Straight from the scheme registry.

Real-time

Instant during bulk onboarding.

Complements EPFO

Two independent employment records.
