Dear Varun,
If you are a frequent visitor of CiteHR, you will find that every week there are one or more clarifications asked by the members, and every time the answer is "NO." If you read or search this topic, you'll find TONS of clarifications provided by the seniors. Instead of seeking clarification from this forum, I advise you to please visit the ESI Local office/ESI Inspector in your area.

Dear Peeteeaar,
We are all wondering about the approval and the date of implementation. You mentioned the confirmed date of 01.04.2014 for its implementation (hoping for successful confirmation news from the Ministry of Labour). Could you please share the Government Notification?

Before increasing the coverage limit to Rs. 25,000/- per month, the Central and state governments have to ensure that their infrastructure is improved in the following ways:
- Increasing dispensaries and model hospitals, fulfilling vacant posts of doctors (in hospitals and dispensaries), empanelment with government hospitals and good private hospitals, opening dispensaries in each industrial area, tying up with insurance companies, providing good medical treatment to the dependents living in their native places.
- Initiating a campaign so that none of the insured persons could be without a biometric card.
- Providing training to ESI staff on "customer satisfaction", quick grievance redressal, providing the right guidance, educating/counseling role of inspectors (instead of commission agents), visits of ESI inspectors for educating insured persons, etc.
All of the above are very minute points that require the attention of the top leadership.
If the mentioned improvements do not take place, it will be an injustice for both the employer and the employee, ultimately leading to an additional burden on the employer as their contribution is going to increase by 67% without any improvement in facilities.
I hope the government pays attention to this, and employers will lead this case through their associations.

As of today, 4th Feb, ESIC and PF limits have not been increased.
Please refer to a news item published in the Economic Times yesterday:
The salary ceiling for gratuity contributions is also likely to be raised to Rs 15,000 a month, along with the PF cap, which was last revised in 2001. Minimum wages in most states are now higher than the Rs 6,500 ceiling under the EPF Act, depriving the most disadvantaged workers of social security.
Fernandes has also summoned members of the Employees' State Insurance Corporation, or ESIC, which provides medical care and unemployment insurance benefits, for a meeting in the second week of February.
The minister hopes to overcome resistance from employers and finalize a hike in the salary ceiling for ESIC benefits from Rs 15,000 per month to Rs 25,000 a month.
This could bring an additional 50 lakh employees into the ambit of ESIC, which currently covers 1.7 crore people. Employers have questioned the rationale of the state extending inefficient healthcare to employees earning Rs 15,000-25,000 a month while reducing their take-home salaries by 6.5% - the contribution rate for ESIC.

Dear All,
Currently, the ESIC ceiling limit stands at Rs. 15,000. However, in today's newspaper, I saw that it has been confirmed to be Rs. 21,000, not Rs. 25,000. The government order may be released this month, and I believe it will be effective from September 2016.
Thank you.
