The notification from the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), dated June 13, 2024, details the facilitation of Aadhaar seeding for Insured Persons (IPs), ESIC employees, and pensioners.
Outlines new provisions for the Aadhaar seeding process:
- Employers are responsible for generating new insurance numbers for employees using Aadhaar-based OTP or biometric verification.
- They must seed Aadhaar numbers of insured persons and their family members into the ESIC system.
- The Employer Portal is the designated platform for employers to carry out these tasks.
- Employers are expected to ensure data accuracy and maintain confidentiality of Aadhaar information.
- Aadhaar seeding can be done at Branch Offices, DCBOs, Dispensaries, and Hospitals.
- AAA+ Mobile App allows Aadhaar seeding via OTP or face authentication, reducing dependency on OTP and biometric verification. ESIC staff can also use the app for Aadhaar seeding.
