Dear,
Please note that ESI is applicable up to Rs. 15,000/- (Gross) to an employee and it is deducted almost from the Gross Salary, except for some specific allowances. If you are providing some allowances on a monthly basis, it will obviously be applicable to all allowances.
Please specify your required pay structure so that we can better assist you.

Dear Mr. Raju,
You need to include ESI on 15500.
OVERTIME ALLOWANCE
In the case of the employer, as and when the employer finds the need to have work done expeditiously, in addition to the normal work during the course of the working hours, the employer offers the employee the option to do overtime work after the working hours. When an employee does overtime work, it implies acceptance of the same, thereby establishing an implied contract between the employer and the employee. Both the remuneration received during the working hours and overtime constitute a composite wage, making it a wage within the meaning of Sec.2(22) of the ESI Act. Therefore, contributions are payable on the overtime allowance. However, overtime allowances will only be considered as wages for the purpose of contribution calculation and not for determining the coverage of the employee under the Scheme.
This viewpoint was also upheld by the Supreme Court in its judgment delivered on 6.11.96 in the case of Indian Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Vs. ESIC, in Civil Appeal No.2777 of 1980.

Our construction company takes up work even in areas where ESI is implemented. I have a doubt about whether ESI is applicable for a greenfield project as well, i.e. a project where construction starts from scratch.

Dear Ramesh,
For ESI, if in the beginning of the month you have employed 10 or more employees, then you are eligible for ESI. You must apply for ESI Registration. If the gross salary of all the 10 employees is within Rs. 15,000, ESI contribution is mandatory. If any employee's gross salary is above Rs. 15,000, you can exclude them from ESI contribution.

Dear Bosa,
If your establishment is covered under the ESI Act and your project is in an implemented area, then ESI is applicable. The nature of your project is immaterial. Alternatively, you may seek exemption from the appropriate government.

Thanks,
Dear sir,
Greetings for the day,
As we are all aware that the salary ceiling for the deduction of ESIC is Rs. 15,000/- per month. Above that, it should be exempted. The components considered for the deduction of ESIC contribution should be the whole fixed allowances, inclusive of overtime. Any reimbursements should not be part of ESIC deduction.

We have some employees who were once members of ESI from 1975 to 1985. As their salaries were revised, they were given a medical allowance instead of ESI, as per the ESI coverage limit set by the company. Now, as they are about to superannuate, they will receive some pension from their pension fund, approximately Rs. 1700 per month, but they will not receive any medical benefits from the company.
We want to assist our employees who are superannuating with their medical issues and would like to know:
1. Can individuals over the age of 58 or 60 years avail ESI medical benefits along with their families?
2. If yes, what amount will they have to contribute towards that?
3. Whom should they approach if residing in Delhi?

Mr. Mathur,
ESI medical benefits are available to those who are superannuated while being an insured person after being in insurable employment for three years. Such person shall pay Rs10/- per month for one year in advance, each year. This facility is not available to employees who were in ESIS years ago.

Thank you for your prompt reply. If the employees had been a member of ESI for a period of five years, from whom can we get it certified? As these employees were members during 1975-1985, and there are no records with us for that period.

Bittu,
By "vendor," if you mean those who are supplying goods against a purchase order, then you need not worry about their ESI. If any external party is doing part-time work on your premises under your control and supervision, then you are liable for ESI.

Dear AK Mathur,
We have some employees who were once members of ESI from 1975 to 1985. When their salaries were revised, they were given a medical allowance instead of ESI as per the ESI coverage limit set by the company. As they are nearing superannuation, they will receive some pension from their pension fund, approximately Rs. 1700 per month, but they will not receive any medical benefits from the company.
We aim to support our employees who are retiring concerning their medical needs and would like to inquire about the following:
1. Can individuals over the age of 58/60 avail ESI medical benefits for themselves and their families?
2. If so, what amount would they need to contribute towards this benefit?
3. Whom should they approach if they are residing in Delhi?
For the benefit of retiring employees, medical facilities under rules 60/61 of ESIC will be provided at a nominal rate of Rs. 120.00 per annum. Terms and conditions apply. Please contact the ESIC branch manager for further details.
Thank you.
