Overview

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.
