Dear All,

In May, the staff's salary was increased to 15000/. However, this increment should have been effective from the month of April so that they would have automatically contributed to ESIC for the month of April. In the following month, their salary was increased to 15000/. In this scenario, do we have to wait for the next 6 months for their contributions to stop, or is there another way to halt the contributions?

DEAR RAM,

YOU HAVE TO PAY, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, AND IT IS BETTER TO PAY ALSO.

Contribution period and Benefit period:-

Contribution period is (a) 1st April to 30th September (first half) & (b) 1st October till 31st March.

The corresponding benefit period is (a) following 1st July to 31st December (b) following 1st January to 30th June.

Thus, ‘Benefit period’ starts three months after the ‘contribution period’ are over.

The relevance of this definition is that sickness benefit and maternity benefit is available only during ‘benefit period’.

Thus and employee gets these benefits only after 9 months after joining employment and paying contribution. However, other benefits are available during contribution period also.

An employee is entitled to get benefits which are medical benefits as well as cash benefits. He also can get disablement benefit.

All the best

If I am not wrong, the employees who are drawing Rs. 15,000/- are also covered by ESI. If they cross Rs. 15,000/-, only then shall they be out of ESI. As mentioned by our other friends, if an employee exceeds the ESI wage limit during the contribution period, their coverage and deduction of contributions should continue until the end of the contribution period. However, when it comes to coverage, it should take immediate effect.

Dear Friends,

If an employee is under the purview of ESI during April and subsequently, due to wage revision or for other reasons, the wage crosses Rs. 15,000, he shall continue to be under ESI until the end of the contribution period, i.e., September. Our other friends have given excellent examples.

Dear Sirs,

I have one confusion regarding the same. Suppose an employee's salary increases from 15000 to 18000 in April. Do we need to contribute the ESI amount up to September, and should we calculate based on 15000 or 18000?

Dear Mr. Abhishek,

The point is very clear. There are two contribution periods: April to Sept and October to March. If the salary increases from 15000 to 18000 w.e.f. 1st April or 1st October, the employees will come out of the purview of ESI. In case an employee's salary increases w.e.f. May onwards, he shall continue to be under ESI only.

Hope your query is cleared.

With Best Regards,
