Dear All,

Our factory is covered under the ESI Act, 1948, with effect from 01/09/2016, as per the new amendment of the act. My query is, as per the new Government Order (GO), if any establishment is newly covered under the ESI Act, the contributions will be Employee 1% and Employer 3% instead of 1.75% and 4.75% for the next 24 months. However, I am trying to upload the challan through the portal, but the system generates the challan for 1.75% and 4.75%, totaling 6.5% instead of 4%. Please guide me in this regard.

Regards,
Ram

reduced rates of contribution is applicable in only specified zones, where ESIC is launched fresh .


Mr. U.S. Sharma is right.

Contribution at 3% and 1% for 24 months is applicable to the area where the ESI scheme is being freshly launched. If the scheme is already existing in your area, then the normal contribution will be applicable.

Dear Jalluriram,

Your query is valid, and there is a need to change the software by the ESIC officials. The software team in Delhi is working on it, and it will take some time. In the meantime, you can submit the challan with the old rate - i.e., 6.50%, and afterwards, you will get the rebate on the same.
