Source review 2026-07-17 Current legal status and scope Regulation 103B governs benefit-claim validity or processing: Medical benefit after insurable employment ceases due to permanent disablement. Transition control: The ESI Act, 1948 has been repealed. Code section 164(2)(b) keeps ESI rules, regulations and schemes in force for one year from commencement, only to the extent not inconsistent with the Code; section 164(2)(a) separately preserves prior actions subject to its conditions. The Corporation approved framing of 2026 General Regulations on 30 June 2026; this page does not treat that approval as a final Gazette replacement.

Current-law crosswalk Primary Code sections: 39, 40, 41. Central Rules: 25, 26. Do not duplicate: the full Code and Central Rule analysis remains under the L3 Social Security corpus . This page owns only the saved regulation and its operational transition. Evidence and audit trail insured-person record claim and acknowledgement medical certificate or death evidence wage/abstention confirmation decision and payment record Quality controls Event date and legal-version lock. Employee/insured-person identifier reconciliation. Maker-checker review and exception log. Current portal acknowledgement or reasoned authority decision. Privacy-controlled retention of medical and dependant records. Non-compliance, remedy and escalation Missing evidence or late submission may delay, reduce or suspend benefit, subject to cure, relaxation and appeal rights. Employer correction Correct master data, contribution/return or evidence through the authorised route while retaining the original record and reason. Insured person or claimant Use the appropriate claim, grievance, Medical Board, review, ESI Court or High Court route according to the disputed issue. Authority control Keep assessment, benefit, interest, damages, recovery and penalty decisions separately reasoned and quantified. Worked implementation scenario A transaction arises under Regulation 103B — Medical benefit after insurable employment ceases due to permanent disablement . The compliance owner records the event date and identifies whether the issue concerns coverage, contribution, medical evidence or benefit. The current Code section and 2026 Central Rule are checked first; the saved regulation is then used only for the surviving operational detail. The maker prepares the portal filing, claim or decision pack, while a reviewer verifies identity, wage/contribution or medical evidence, limitation and later ESIC directions. The acknowledgement, calculation and correspondence are preserved together. Failure pattern: copying the paper-era process without checking whether the Code, final Central Rules or ESIC digital workflow has displaced it. Practical Q&A Is Regulation 103B automatically current because it appears in a consolidated text? No. It survives only through the Code’s savings framework and only to the extent it is not inconsistent with the Code, final Central Rules or a later valid replacement. Can portal acceptance cure an incorrect legal classification? No. Portal processing does not conclusively determine coverage, contribution wage, medical entitlement, dependant status or limitation. Should the proposed 2026 General Regulations be used now? Not as final law unless and until a valid Gazette notification brings the replacement instrument into force. Track the official status page.
