Dear Sir,
I am also a disabled person with 40% disabilities (Disability Type LOCO MOTOR DISABILITY/ CEREBRAL PALSY). This disability occurred during the course of my work in 2010. I am also receiving a monthly pension. Can I get the ceiling increase benefit of 25000/-? ESIC has already uploaded my disability certificate, but the company says that this ceiling increase benefit is only for new employees, not for current employees.
Please guide me.

It is not confined to new joiners but can be made applicable to existing employees. The basic purpose of this arrangement is to encourage employers to hire people with disabilities. That is why the employer's share of ESI contribution is being paid by the Central Govt (for three years). If your employer has any concern that he will incur some additional expenditure if you are covered, please educate the HR that there is no contribution payable by the employer in your case.

Dear Sir(s),
In my opinion, to avail benefits under the ESI Act, 1948 for disabled employees, the only condition is that the said employee must be "a person with a disability under the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, and under the National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation, and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999" as per Rule 50 and 51-A of the ESI (Central) Rules, 1952.
Under the above two Acts, separate authorities have been created for the registration of persons with such disabilities, namely the "Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities." I think the person who desires benefits under the above Rules must obtain a disability certificate under any of the above Acts (whichever is applicable in his case) and submit the same to his employer for coverage under the beneficial scheme of the government.
I suggest that individuals seeking benefits under the above provisions should also visit their appropriate ESIC Branch Office and obtain information regarding the procedural formalities to be complied with for obtaining such benefits. Subsequently, they should request their employer to register them under the said provisions of the Act.
In case the employer refuses or fails to comply with the provisions of the Rules, the aggrieved disabled person can take up the matter with the Regional Director/Director (Benefits) at the Regional/Sub/Divisional Office of ESIC in his area, providing complete details of his case and employment.
Thank you.

Dear Sir,
As per both of your suggestions, today I went to SRO Surat, Benefit Branch. I showed them your view regarding this issue. However, they are still not clear about this rule. They mentioned that this scheme is for employers who appoint employees with disabilities, not for employees who are already registered with ESIC and become disabled during employment. They have now requested me to write an email to ESIC headquarters regarding this matter.
Sir, I have found a circular from ESIC, which also does not clarify whether this scheme is for new employees or existing ones. Please review the circular and advise me on where to find complete details of this scheme.

Sir,
As suggested by SRO, ESIC Surat, you can write to the Director General (Benefits Branch), Hqrs. Office, New Delhi, and claim your registration under the said Disabled Persons scheme of the Government.
However, before approaching the Hqrs. Office, please ensure that you have the necessary Certificate of Disability as laid down in one of the 2 Acts mentioned in my earlier remarks. Please enclose a copy of such certificate with your representation to the Hqrs. office.
In the circular of ESIC, I could not find any reference stating that employees who sustained injuries at any time after employment would not be entitled to the benefits of such provisions. Therefore, in my opinion, you may approach the Hqrs. Office of ESIC as suggested above.

Sir,
1. I had earlier suggested you to approach the higher authorities of ESIC if you have a disability certificate under any of the Acts as mentioned in earlier remarks.
2. The circular of 2011, as attached by you, nowhere bars employees getting wages up to Rs. 25,000 per month who suffered a disability after joining employment. It has merely modified the procedure of such registration at the level of ESIC itself instead of at the level of the employer.

Hence, you are eligible to receive all benefits from ESIC up to the wage ceiling of Rs. 25,000/- as you entered insurable employment after 01.04.2008 (i.e., on 01.07.2008).
