Dear All,

Is ESI applicable on uniforms and medical expenses or not? Kindly confirm. If not, is it necessary to have the reimbursement bill for these components?

Can we provide medical reimbursement to employees as a part of their salary if they are covered under ESI?

Dear Arti,

ESI is applicable to all allowances. ESI is not applicable to any reimbursement, but it should be on bills only. Yes, you can provide employees with medical reimbursement, but it should not be part of their salary. It should be designated for medical expenses, and you cannot consider it as a component of their salary.

Thank you.

Dear All,

What Mukesh stated is correct; it will not be applicable for reimbursements. You can eliminate Uniform Allowances from ESI wages if you are providing uniforms to the employees. The purchase bills for uniforms are sometimes asked for.

Dear Arti,

No, ESI is not applicable on conveyance reimbursement, but you have to keep the bills ready in this regard. However, if you include Conveyance allowance with salary components, then ESI will be payable on the same.

Dear Arti,

Greetings for the day.

Deduction of ESIC is only applicable on the allowances covered under salary and wages, not on reimbursement.

Thanks and regards,
