About this stamp

Sixty Years of ESIC

India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 24 February 2012, sixty years to the day after the Employees’ State Insurance scheme was first put into effect, at Kanpur and Delhi on 24 February 1952. The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), set up under the ESI Act of 1948, is one of India’s two main statutory social security bodies, with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation, under the Ministry of Labour and Employment. It gives insured workers and their families medical care and cash benefits through its own dispensaries, hospitals and medical colleges across the country.

The stamp shows a family, an ESIC membership card and an office building.
