Quick summary
ESIC runs the Employees State Insurance scheme for workers in covered workplaces. If you earn within the wage limit, your employer must register you under the scheme. Once registered, you become an Insured Person (IP).
Your employer generates your e-Pehchan card through ESIC. This is your identity card (pehchan) for the scheme. It carries your Insurance Number, the unique ID that links you to all your benefits.
As an Insured Person, the scheme can give you medical care for you and your family, plus cash benefits during sickness, maternity, or work injury. To use these benefits, your registration must be active and your card details correct.
Go to esic.gov.in and open the Insured Person login page. Use only the official website to stay safe.
Select the Insured Person or Beneficiary login option. This is the section meant for employees, not employers.
Type your ESIC Insurance Number (IP number) as your user ID, along with your password. Enter the captcha shown on screen, then log in.
After login, your dashboard shows your registration details and contribution record. Check that your name and family details are correct.
Open the e-Pehchan card section and download the card as a PDF. Print it on plain paper if you need a copy for treatment or records.
You can also install the UMANG app, open ESIC services, log in with your registered mobile number and OTP, and check your card and contribution details there.
| Detail | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| ESIC Insurance Number (IP number) | Your payslip, your physical ESIC card, or your employer or HR team |
| Registered mobile number | The number your employer linked to your ESIC record |
| Password for the portal | Set during first login, or reset using your registered mobile |
| Employer details | Your offer letter, payslip, or HR department |
| UMANG app | Download from the official app store and search for ESIC services |
| What you check | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Registration details | Whether your record is active and your name and family are correct |
| e-Pehchan card | Whether your card is generated and ready to view or print |
| Contribution history | Whether your employer is depositing your ESI contributions |
| Family details | Whether your dependants are added for medical benefit |
| Claim status | Where your sickness, maternity, or injury claim has reached |
First, ask your employer or HR team. The employer registers you and generates your e-Pehchan card, so most delays start there. Ask them to confirm your Insurance Number and complete any pending step.
If the employer has registered you but the portal still shows nothing, contact your local ESIC branch office. Keep your Insurance Number and employer details ready.
If a public authority does not respond, you can file an RTI to ask about the status of your registration or card. An RTI can ask for the date of action and the reason for any delay. See RTI for a delayed ESIC claim and RTI for ESIC treatment denied. You can prepare a clean application using the RTI Drafter.
The e-Pehchan card is your identity card under the Employees State Insurance scheme. Your employer generates it through ESIC after registering you. It carries your Insurance Number and links you to your medical and cash benefits. You can view and print it from the Insured Person portal once it is ready.
Your ESIC Insurance Number, also called the IP number, is usually printed on your payslip. It may also appear on a physical ESIC card given by your employer. If you cannot find it, ask your HR or payroll team. You need this number to log in to the Insured Person portal.
Once your employer has registered you and generated the card, you can log in and download it yourself. You do not need the employer present to print it. However, only the employer can do the initial registration. If no card exists yet, ask the employer to complete the process.
No. Checking your registration status, viewing your card, and printing it from the official portal are all free. The UMANG app is also free to use for ESIC services. If anyone asks you to pay for these basic checks, treat it as a warning sign and use the official portal directly.
First confirm your Insurance Number with your employer, as a wrong number gives no result. If the number is correct but no record appears, your registration may be pending at the employer end. Ask the employer to complete it, then check again. If it stays stuck, contact your local ESIC branch or file an RTI.
