Definition of Factory under ESI Act

A Factory is any premise where ten or more than ten persons are employed or were employed for wages on any day of the preceding twelve months, and, in any part of which a manufacturing process is being carried with or without the aid of power. In case within the same premises of a factory, several departments are situated and the departments are engaged in the work in connection with or incidental to a manufacturing process of the factory, they would fall apart from the factory.

This definition of a factory under the ESI includes a seasonal factory that is working for a period of not exceeding seven months in a year and is engaged during that period in any process related to blending, packing, or repacking of tea or coffee or other manufacturing processes that are process notified by the central government.

Mines are not included in this definition under the definition, subject to the operation of Mines Act,2952 or a railway running shed.

Hence, if the number of persons working in the factory premises is ten or more the premise is factory irrespective of the consideration of whether they are paid wages or not. Also, all people working in the factory need not be employed in the manufacturing process.

Definition of Establishment under ESI Act

Under the ESI Act, an establishment is an organized body of men or women or an institution, It is not necessary for an establishment confined to a particular premise or place. If an establishment employs 20 or more persons, it will be required to obtain ESI registration in India. Hence, the establishments employing less than 20 employees who are drawing less than Rs.21,000 a month as a wage should not get ESI registration.

Shops must also be registered under the ESI Act. The supreme court has defined a shop as any premises where economic activities leading to sale or purchase are carried on. Thus, the essential ingredient for determining a shop is that services are rendered to the customer. So service providers like advertisement agencies, liaison offices, consultancy services, real estate services will need to get ESI registration in India.

In this educational institution, hospitals, dispensaries, offices of auditors and solicitors, chartered accountants, and private commercial hospitals are excluded.
