The Employees' State Insurance (ESI) Corporation has approved an enhancement of the wage ceiling from Rs. 10,000 per month to Rs. 15,000 per month for the coverage of employees under the ESI Scheme. This decision was made during the 149th meeting held on Friday under the chairmanship of Union Minister of Labour and Employment, Mallikarjun Kharge.
Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Harish Rawat, and the Vice-Chairman of ESIC were also present at the meeting.
Taking into account the increase in the cost of living index and the recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour, the Corporation increased the wage ceiling limit for the coverage of employees under the ESI Scheme.
This adjustment will enable the Corporation to extend a social security net to more employees in the organized sector.

It takes a few weeks to implement because any changes in the slab need cabinet approval before implementation. According to sources in the Ministry of Labour, it would be implemented from 1st April 2010. The limit of PF is also set to be revised during this budget session. Please wait for the notification.

Dear R.P Dixit,
After tying up with various private hospitals/institutions, ESI has become a solid social security scheme (in my opinion). I will provide only one example to support my complaints.
I agree that there is not good infrastructure/service in ESI hospitals. However, if you refer to a private hospital, you can receive more expensive benefits free of cost. For instance, if you or a family member undergo a heart operation at a private hospital, the total expenses may come to approximately 2 lakh rupees or more. Your contribution of Rs. 14,500 per month amounts to Rs. 943. Your total contributions can cover the expenses of a heart operation after 18 years of regular contributions. Subsequently, you can avail of more benefits for yourself or your family members.
