Hello Friends & seniors,
I am 101% in agreement with Mr. R. N. Dixit that the majority of staff are paying a lot of money in ESIC deductions yearly. However, due to a lack of facilities in ESIC hospitals or unavailability of doctors in their area, they are not able to take advantage of ESIC benefits. Consequently, they are always dissatisfied with their ESIC deductions, which are of no use to them.
I would like to request everyone to please oppose this law by sending your objections to the following address:
To,
Shri. S.D. Xavier,
Under Secretary,
Ministry of Labour and Employment,
Sharam Shakti Bhavan,
Rafi Marg, New Delhi-110 001,
Email: sddotxavier@nic.in
Please object to this rule.
Regards,

I think this is not for implementation for raising objection, what opinion will Govt not implement after strong objections from employers. It shall be implemented whether raise objection or not.

I totally agree that ESIC limilts should not rise bcz employees are not taking that much benefits from esic due to lack of unavailability of hospitals & docors or medicine.

I agree with you that ESIC limits should not rise because employees are not getting many benefits from ESIC. Around 70% of employees in the private sector do not visit dispensaries or hospitals even once in their lifetime due to the unavailability of hospitals, doctors, or medicine.

I also agree with this amendment, but there must be a ceiling, i.e., if the employee's gross salary is more than ₹10,000 to ₹15,000, the maximum amount must be considered as ₹10,000 only. This way, the employee's salary up to ₹15,000 will be covered under ESI, and this will not be a significant burden on the employee as well as the employer.
So now, as per the proposal, the total amount for ₹15,000 will be ₹263 + ₹712 = ₹975, and annually, if you calculate it, it will be ₹3,156 + ₹8,544 = ₹11,700. This is a substantial amount, and everybody knows that only a few people benefit from ESIC. So, I think this is the point to be raised now.
Waiting for your response.

What is the use of bringing more employees under ESIC coverage? This move clearly indicates that the government needs more funds to support its own people. Instead of this, the government should concentrate on improving hospital facilities.
Thank you.

Obviously, it's a different thought. I don't have any problem from ESIC because our employees have benefited a lot from it. I only don't agree with the revision or increase in amount because it becomes a burden to the poor employees and even small establishments. So, my suggestion is to try to make employees aware of the scheme and help them get the benefits. Please be positive, and you can even conduct a random survey at the shop floor level.

Definitely, thanks, Madhura, for raising this issue. We all should send an email to Mr. Xaviour so that our collective efforts will make a difference. There is no use in spending our hard-earned money on things that are extremely useless to us.
In my case, I lose nearly 500k of my salary each month as both sides of ESIC are deducted from my salary. Can anyone tell me, are employees supposed to pay both sides of the contribution for PF as well as ESIC? I am confused.
