As we all know that registration on Sham Suvidha Portal for new Companies was discontinued w.e.f. 15.02.2020 and thereafter, Companies were allowed to register only through the MCA portal (www.mca.gov.in through Spice+ and AGILE-PRO e-forms) at the time of incorporation.
However, in the latest circular No. P-11/14/19/Misc/02/2022-Rev. II Dated 21/11/2022, the ESIC has provided that the new companies registered on or after 15.02.2020, shall comply with the provisions of the ESI Act, 1948 only when they reach the threshold limit of employment under the ESI Act. In case, the companies registered through the MCA portal are found not coverable as per the statutory provisions of the ESI Act, they are not required to do compliances for the next 6 months or till they reach the threshold ESIC coverage, whichever is earlier.
Dormant Status: If the company does not reach the threshold in 6 months, it has to login on to the ESIC portal to further extend the “dormant” status. In case, it does not extend the same, the registration will get activated and the company has to start doing compliances under the ESI Act. In case, compliances are not done, actions under the existing provisions of the ESI Act may be taken against the defaulting units.
