The Yeshasvini Health Insurance Scheme is a community-based medical insurance program that seeks to assist workers in Karnataka's unorganised sector who fall into the middle and lower-middle income brackets.
The Department of Co-operatives runs this programme in collaboration with the Government of Karnataka. To provide the necessary healthcare facilities for the rural informal workers at a lower cost, it leverages the cash raised by cooperative societies through the Yeshasvini trust. The objective of the Yeshasvini Health Insurance Scheme is to offer cost-effective, high-quality healthcare throughout the state of Karnataka.
The ESI Scheme is a self-funding program. Employer and employee contributions are primarily used to support the ESI funds, which are provided monthly at a fixed percentage of salaries received. State governments are also responsible for 1/8th of the cost of medical benefits
The company contributes 3.25 percent and the employee contributes 0.75 percent for all employees earning Rs 21,000 or less per month in salary, for a total share of 4 percent.
Another notable characteristic of the Scheme is that an employee's insurance number remains the same as long as he or she remains within the ESIC wage limit. Changing jobs will not affect an employee's insurance status, and his or her insurance number will remain the same.
