ESIC insured person login gives registered employees access to services linked with their Employees’ State Insurance record, including personal details, contribution information and the e-Pehchan Card. Employees should use the insured-person service rather than the separate employer login used by companies.
For the browser-based IP Portal, ESIC’s instructions use the Insurance Number as the username, along with the registered password and captcha. Employees can also use the ESIC Health Connect app, which provides a separate login route using the IP Number and OTP verification.
The correct next step depends on what is stopping you from logging in. You may already know your password, need to reset it, be unable to receive an OTP, or first need to find your ESIC Insurance Number.

Which ESIC Login Should Employees Use?
For an employee covered under the Employees’ State Insurance scheme, the correct browser-based option is the Insured Person/Beneficiary Portal, commonly referred to as the IP Portal. This is the employee-facing login used to access services linked with the individual ESIC record.
Do not confuse Insured Person with ESI Staff. If you are insured through your employer, select the Insured Person/Beneficiary option. The ESI Staff login is meant for authorised ESIC personnel, while the Employer Portal is used by companies for employer-side registration, contribution and administrative work.
| Access Route | Who Should Use It | What It Is For |
|---|---|---|
| Insured Person/Beneficiary Portal | Employees registered under ESI | Access to the individual insured-person record and employee services |
| Employer Portal | Authorised employers or company representatives | Employer registration, contribution and administrative functions |
| ESI Staff Login | Authorised ESIC personnel | Internal staff services |
| ESIC Health Connect | Insured persons using supported mobile services | App-based access using IP Number and OTP verification |
| UMANG ESIC Services | Users accessing supported ESIC services through UMANG | Separate ESIC services available through the UMANG platform |
Your employer’s ESIC login is not your personal employee login. You do not need the company’s employer-portal password to access insured-person services.
What to Keep Ready for ESIC Insured Person Login
Before starting, keep the following details available:
- ESIC Insurance Number / IP Number
- Your IP Portal password, if already created
- Access to the registered mobile number when OTP verification is required
- A private phone or computer with an updated browser
Your company employee ID, EPFO UAN and ESIC employer code are different identifiers. For insured-person login, use your personal ESIC Insurance Number/IP Number where the portal asks for the insured person’s username or identification number.
How to Log In to the ESIC Insured Person Portal
Use the official ESIC Insured Person/Beneficiary Portal. If the direct login page is temporarily unavailable, open the official ESIC website and select Insured Person/Beneficiary.
A direct-link error does not automatically mean your ESIC account is inactive. It may simply be a temporary portal issue.
Step 1: Choose Insured Person.
Select the Insured Person option on the login page. Do not choose ESI Staff unless you are an authorised ESIC employee.
Step 2: Enter your ESIC Insurance Number.
Use your 10-digit IP Number/Insurance Number as the username. You can usually find it on your e-Pehchan Card or ESIC registration record.
Step 3: Enter your password.
Use the password created for your insured-person account. If your browser autofills a password, make sure it belongs to this ESIC account and not another saved service.
Step 4: Complete the captcha.
Enter the characters shown on the page. If you refresh the captcha, use the newly displayed code.
Step 5: Select Login.
After submitting the form, read any error message carefully before changing your password or trying another recovery step.
First-Time ESIC Login: Use Sign Up
If you already have an ESIC Insurance Number but have never created a password for the IP Portal, use the Sign Up option on the official login page.
Follow the verification fields shown on the portal and create your password using the instructions provided there.
Creating online access does not create a new ESIC insurance record. Your ESI registration is separate and is generally created through the employer-side registration process.
If Sign Up does not recognise your details, note the exact error shown and ask your HR department to confirm the Insurance Number and personal details recorded under your ESIC registration.
Forgot ESIC Password? Use the Recovery Option
If you already created an IP Portal password but cannot remember it, select Forgot Password on the official login page.
Do not keep trying combinations such as:
- date of birth
- mobile number
- Insurance Number
unless you know you previously used one of them as your password.
Use the recovery process instead.
If password recovery depends on a mobile number you no longer have access to, the problem may be with the contact details linked to your ESIC record. In that case, contact your HR department or the appropriate ESIC office for help with the registered information rather than trying to create another Insurance Number.
The recovery form can change over time, so follow the fields currently displayed on the official ESIC portal instead of relying on an old screenshot or guide.
ESIC Health Connect Login With IP Number and OTP
ESIC Health Connect gives insured persons a separate mobile-app login route. Unlike the browser-based IP Portal, which uses the Insurance Number and password, Health Connect uses the IP Number with OTP verification for supported services.
Use the official app listing available through ESIC’s authorised channels. Avoid downloading APK files from unrelated websites.
Step 1: Select Insured Person.
Open ESIC Health Connect and choose the insured-person login option.
Step 2: Enter your IP Number.
Use your existing ESIC Insurance Number/IP Number.
Step 3: Select Get OTP.
Request the verification code on the mobile number linked to your access.
Step 4: Enter the OTP and sign in.
Type the OTP directly into the app and complete the login. Do not share the code with anyone.
The Health Connect instructions published in January 2026 state that the Resend OTP option becomes available after three minutes. They also state that after three consecutive OTP generations, another OTP may not be generated for three hours. If the app displays a different timer, follow the current on-screen instruction.
Can You Log In Without a Password?
Yes, Health Connect uses OTP-based authentication instead of the browser portal’s password-based login.
That does not mean access is possible without verification. You still need the correct IP Number and access to the required mobile verification.
If your main purpose after login is to obtain the card PDF, follow the ESIC Card Download guide.
Can You Access ESIC Through UMANG?
Yes. UMANG provides access to supported ESIC services, including facilities such as profile information, contribution details, claim-related services and e-Pehchan Card access.
Open the official UMANG portal, search for ESIC or Employees’ State Insurance Corporation, and select the service you need.
Follow the authentication and verification steps shown for that service.
UMANG is an alternative access route, but it does not remove ESIC-specific requirements. If a service asks for your IP Number, you still need that number before you can proceed.
It should also not be treated as a guaranteed fix for every ESIC login problem. A problem with your underlying ESIC record may remain even if you switch from the IP Portal to UMANG.
ESIC Login Not Working? Identify the Problem First
Different ESIC login problems need different fixes. A page that will not load, a wrong-password error and an incorrect employee record are not the same issue.
| What You See | What to Do First |
|---|---|
| Login page does not load | Open ESIC from the official homepage and retry |
| Username or password error | Check the IP Number and use password recovery if needed |
| Captcha error | Enter the latest captcha displayed |
| Sign Up cannot verify your details | Ask HR to confirm your ESIC registration information |
| Health Connect OTP not received | Check access to the linked mobile number and wait for the resend timer |
| Login works but details are incorrect | Investigate the record rather than resetting the password |
| Login works but PDF download fails | Troubleshoot the download separately |
Wrong Username or Password
First confirm that you are using the Insured Person login and entering your own IP Number, not another workplace identifier.
Check for:
- spaces accidentally copied with the number
- browser autofill inserting an email address
- company employee ID entered instead of IP Number
- an old password saved for another service
If the Insurance Number is correct but you cannot remember the password, use Forgot Password rather than repeatedly guessing.
Captcha Keeps Failing
The captcha changes whenever the page refreshes or a new captcha is generated.
If it fails:
- Refresh the captcha once.
- Enter the newly displayed characters.
- Submit without leaving the page idle for too long.
If the captcha image itself does not load, reopen the official login page in an updated browser.
A captcha error does not mean your ESIC Insurance Number is invalid.
OTP Is Not Arriving
First check whether you still have access to the mobile number being used for verification.
If the number is correct:
- wait for the resend timer
- avoid repeatedly requesting OTPs
- enter the newest OTP received
For Health Connect, repeated OTP generation can trigger a temporary restriction.
If the registered mobile number is old or no longer accessible, contact your HR department or the appropriate ESIC office for guidance on correcting the underlying record. Do not rely on another person to receive or forward your OTP.
The Portal Opens but Login Does Not Complete
If the page loads but gets stuck after submission:
- close duplicate ESIC login tabs
- reopen the official login page
- try another updated browser
- retry after a short interval if the service appears temporarily unavailable
If you clear browser data, clear it only for the affected service where possible instead of deleting all saved browser information.
Do not bypass a browser certificate or security warning to access an account page.
Your Account Shows an Old Employer
Seeing an old employer in your ESIC record is different from a login failure.
If the portal provides employer or employment-record selection, check whether the current employment is available separately.
If your present employer is missing, ask the payroll or HR team to check the ESIC linkage.
Do not create another insured-person registration simply to remove an old employer from the account.
Login Works but Personal or Family Details Are Incorrect
Successful login only confirms that you can access the account. It does not mean every stored detail is correct.
If you notice an error in:
- name
- date of birth
- family member information
- dependant details
- employment information
note the exact discrepancy and follow the relevant update process or seek employer assistance.
Resetting the password will not correct profile information.
ESIC’s particulars-update process includes submission and verification, so a correction request should not be treated as approved until the change is actually reflected in the record.
When to Contact HR or an ESIC Office
Contact your HR or payroll team when the problem may involve your ESIC registration rather than just the login page. This is especially useful if you need help confirming your:
- ESIC Insurance Number/IP Number
- registration details
- current employment record
- employer-linked information
- status of a correction or other employer-handled request
Keep the enquiry specific so the issue can be checked quickly.
My ESIC IP Portal login is still failing after checking my Insurance Number. Please confirm the details linked to my ESIC registration and let me know whether any correction or employer-side action is required.
If HR cannot resolve the issue, use the official ESIC branch-office directory to find the appropriate ESIC office.
Before contacting or visiting the office, keep a note of:
- the ESIC service you were using
- the exact error message
- the date and approximate time of the problem
- the steps you already tried
- your relevant registration details
Ask the office what documents are required before visiting.
Never send your password or OTP to HR, an agent, or anyone claiming to provide login support. Share identity documents only through an authorised channel when required.
Frequently Asked Questions about ESIC insured person login
What is the username for ESIC insured person login?
For the browser-based IP Portal, the username is the employee’s 10-digit ESIC Insurance Number, also called the IP Number.
Is ESIC employee login the same as employer login?
No. The Insured Person Portal is for an employee’s personal ESIC record, while the Employer Portal is used for company-side registration, contribution and administrative functions.
Should an insured employee select ESI Staff?
No. An employee covered under ESI should select Insured Person. The ESI Staff option is for authorised ESIC personnel.
How do I create an ESIC password for the first time?
Use Sign Up on the official IP Portal login page and complete the verification steps shown there to create your password.
Can I use my mobile number instead of my ESIC IP Number?
Do not treat them as interchangeable. The browser IP Portal uses the IP Number as the username, and the Health Connect OTP login also begins with the IP Number.
What if I do not know my ESIC Insurance Number?
Check your existing e-Pehchan Card, ESIC registration record, or other available ESIC document. If you still cannot find it, ask your HR or payroll team to confirm the Insurance Number linked to your registration.
Does an ESIC login failure mean my benefits have stopped?
No. A failed login alone does not show that your ESIC benefits have ended. The problem may instead involve the password, captcha, OTP verification, account details, browser, or temporary portal availability.
What should I do after logging in?
Open the ESIC service relevant to your requirement. If your goal is to download your e-Pehchan Card, continue with the ESIC Card Download guide and verify the card details before saving the PDF.
