There is no reduction in the rates of contribution for existing establishments. The rule applies to establishments in an area newly brought under ESI by notification. As you know, ESI is not applicable to the entire India, but there are areas where the scheme is not implemented. ESIC can notify such areas as ESI notified areas, and accordingly, many areas are being notified as ESI covered areas. When a place is notified as an ESI covered area, the establishments in such areas will come under the coverage of the ESI Act, and they would be bound to pay the contribution at 4.75% + 1.75% of wages with effect from the date of notification. The present amendment states that whenever a new area is brought under the ESI scheme, the establishments in that area will have a concessional rate of contribution for 2 years.

The notification only states that in respect of an establishment in an area newly notified as an ESI-covered area, the rates will be 3% and 1% for two years (twenty-four months). That means this is applicable to newly covered establishments in the newly notified areas and not to all establishments.

Sir, in addition to the views of Sh. Madhu T.K. ji, as above, I may submit that the said notification is only an intention notification intimating about draft rules. These are not final, and the exact date of implementation or enforcement of the amendment, if finalized by the appropriate government, will be indicated in the said final notification. Therefore, till the draft rules are finalized and published in the Gazette of India, and the effective date of said rules is indicated, it is only a proposal or only an idea.

As the senior members, Shri Madhu T.K and Mr. Mehta, have rightly mentioned, first, it is a draft rule proposed which has not been passed yet. Secondly, the rate is applicable for all the new areas where ESI is implemented for the first time, and the rate is valid for the first 24 months of subscription from the date of such implementation. From the 25th month, the regular rate will be applicable.

Dear Members,
We have a manpower contract in the newly ESI notified area in Maharashtra. We obtained a subcode for this but are unable to make contributions at 4%. The contributions are being paid online, and the software automatically calculates them at 6.5%.
Please help me understand how to make contributions at 4%, or if it is not applicable for the subcode unit.
Regards,
Upendra
