ESI Beneficiary Alleges Injustice Over Medical Bill

A man named Jashanpreet Khan, who is covered by the Employees' State Insurance (ESI) scheme, got hurt at work.

He went to a hospital that works with ESI and expected to get treatment without paying upfront.

But after his treatment, ESI only paid Rs 1.86 lakh out of his Rs 5.50 lakh bill.

He says this is unfair and that ESI should have covered the whole bill.

This has raised questions about whether hospitals and ESI are following the rules correctly.
