Employer correction
Correct master data, contribution/return or evidence through the authorised route while retaining the original record and reason.
Regulation 67: Notice otherwise than by entry in accident book
Regulation-wise current-law crosswalk, implementation controls, evidence, remedies and transition treatment.
Current legal status and scope
Regulation 67 forms part of the employment-injury and disablement pathway: Notice otherwise than by entry in accident book.
Transition control: The ESI Act, 1948 has been repealed.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. Consolidated regulation text.

Evidence and audit trail
- accident book/report

Non-compliance, remedy and escalation
Failure to report or preserve evidence can prejudice benefit, employer defence and statutory investigation.
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 67 — Notice otherwise than by entry in accident book. 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 67 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.
