ESIC has come up with a notification on the topic, major highlights are as follows:
Implementation of Aadhaar based authentication of beneficiaries under ESI, Act
* The Temporary Identity Certificate (TIC) has been renamed as e-Pehchan Card.
* The Aadhaar based authentication of beneficiaries under ESI Act is in addition to the Biometric Pehchan Card based authentication.
* If Aadhaar numbers are provided in the ESIC Database then Aadhaar will serve as Permanent Identity Card in lieu of Biometric Pehchan Card and the Insured Person will not be required to get enrolled for Biometric Pehchan Card.
* In case Aadhaar number is not fed, then e-Pehchan Card will only be temporary and IP and his/her family will not be entitled for treatment beyond 30 days of registration. For getting medical treatment beyond 30 days either the Aadhaar no. of the IP and his/her family are to be entered in the ESIC Data Base or the IP has to get a Biometric Pehchan Card by visiting any Pehchan Camp.
* In case the Aadhaar No. of the IP is not entered, then he will have to carry any Govt. issued Photo Identity Card along with e-Pehchan card for getting the treatment. In case of family member, if the Aadhaar number is not entered, a Govt. issued Photo Identity Card will have to be produced for getting the treatment.
* In case IP is not willing to share the Aadhaar number he may be advised to visit a Pehchan Camp.
