ESI Contribution Details
ESI will be calculated on the gross salary of employees. There are so many employees are getting confused that PF is calculated on basic + DA so ESI will also be calculated on basic + DA. But it is not true, ESI is always calculated on the gross salary of the employees.
Insured persons will contribute 1.75% of total gross salary to the ESI and employer will also pay 4.75% of employee gross salary towards ESI fund.
If in an establishment have total 15 employees and 9 out of 15 employees’ salary is more than 21000, then is it mandatory to registering in ESIC?
If we continues on esi contribution even the gross salary above 21000, Is it usefull?
If gross is above then you are not eligible for ESIC, in that case, it is better to take any other health insurance policy to you and your family members.
Some companies tie-up with insurance companies to provide group health insurance to their employees, in that case, the premiums will be less.
Otherwise you have to buy your own health insurance policy.
Sir,
i would like to know if an employees gross salary exceeds Rs.21,000/- after few years, whether he will be eligible to continue under the scheme, irrespective of his salary, as he was a member earlier…..
If gross increases then he should be removed from the ESIC scheme after the end of the ESIC contribution period, and payment has to be paid until the end of the ESIC contribution period.
ESIC has Two contribution periods, from 1 April to 30 September, and 1 October to 31 March.
Example: If employee salary increased to 25000 in July then ESIC should be paid on 25000 until 30 September.
I want the Govt. Notification for this rule
sir increase esic limit 25000 gross salary
Whether these proposed changes will have any effect on the salaries of ESIC Office employees at Head Office & other sub-offices?
