Hi, I have a query. Apart from qualified employees, will the office boy, security guard, floor cleaner, etc., also have PF and ESI deductions? If yes, what is the percentage of deduction from the basic salary?

I believe by qualification, you mean academic or technical qualification. If so, all employees, irrespective of their educational qualifications, are eligible to become members of EPF and ESI. In fact, it is meant for such low-paid employees that these social security measures have been framed. As such, it is mandatory that all employees whose basic salaries are less than Rs 6500 at the time of joining are the ones who are eligible to become members of EPF by statute. Similarly, employees whose salaries exceed Rs 15000 are out of coverage of ESI schemes, which implies that the ESI scheme is meant for low-paid employees only.

ESI contribution is 1.75% from the employee and 4.75% from the employer side. If an employee is earning less than Rs 50 per day, then a total of 6% will be contributed from the employer side, with no deduction from the employee's side.

Dear Shri Gopal,
Please note that from August 2008, the amount has been increased to Rs. 70 per day. Those who are receiving a daily wage of less than Rs. 70 do not need to pay the employee contribution for ESI. Also, please be informed that the employer contribution is only 4.75%.

Can I put a correction to Visheshgopal? Employees' contribution to ESI is not to be deducted from the wages of employees whose daily average wage is not more than Rs. 70, and not Rs. 50. The employer's share in such cases will remain the same, i.e., 4.75%.

Hi Madhu,
I think in every state, the minimum rate of labor is revised. In my state (Orissa), the unskilled labor rate is Rs 90/- daily. So, I feel that if anyone is providing Rs 50 or Rs 70, that means he is engaging in unfair labor practices.
Did you receive the amendment regarding the revised ESI slab from Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000? If you have received it, kindly post it because, as of today, I have not received any updates.
