ESIC Adds Nearly 2 Million New Members in June 2025

The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) added 1.93 million new members in June 2025, according to provisional payroll data released by the Ministry of Labour and Employment. This shows a 10.6% drop compared to June 2024, when 2.16 million new members were added.

Youth Drive Majority of New Registrations

Out of the total new members, around 958,000 were young employees under the age of 25. This means nearly 49.5% of all new additions in June were youth, showing strong participation from the younger workforce. In comparison to May 2025, where 946,000 young people joined, this marks a small 1.2% increase.

This trend shows that more young people are entering formal employment and becoming part of the social security system.

Rise in Female and Transgender Enrolment

Gender-wise data reveals that 413,000 women joined the ESIC scheme in June 2025. In addition, 87 transgender employees were also registered under the scheme during the same period.

This reflects ESIC’s commitment to covering all sections of society, including women and the transgender community, and promoting inclusive growth.

Over 34,000 New Establishments Registered

In June 2025, around 34,672 new establishments were brought under the ESIC’s social security net. This helps expand coverage and benefits to more employees across the country.
