Answer: SPREE Scheme
Notes: Recently, the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) approved the re-launch of the Scheme to Promote Registration of Employers/Employees (SPREE) from 1 July to 31 December 2025. SPREE was first launched in 2016 to expand Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) coverage across India. Earlier, it helped register over 88,000 employers and 1.02 crore employees. The renewed SPREE offers a one-time chance for unregistered employers and left-out workers, including contractual and temporary staff, to enroll under the ESI Act.
