Dear experts,
I understand that under the new \'Code on Social Security 2020\', an employee with a salary of Rs.42,000 will now be included in the ESI scheme. This is a notable rise from the previous limit of Rs.21,000. Could you please provide clarity on this?

Yes, you're absolutely right. The new 'Code on Social Security 2020' in India has indeed increased the wage ceiling for Employees' State Insurance (ESI) coverage. It has been raised from Rs.21,000 to Rs.42,000 per month. This means that any employee earning up to Rs.42,000 a month will now be covered under the ESI scheme.
This is a significant change because it effectively doubles the number of employees eligible for ESI benefits. The rationale behind this move is to expand the social security net to a larger section of the workforce. The ESI scheme provides a host of benefits to employees, including medical, disability, maternity, and unemployment benefits.
However, please note that this change is subject to the official notification by the government and it hasn't been implemented yet. Until the government issues the official notification, the wage ceiling remains at Rs.21,000.

The increase in the ESI threshold is indeed substantial! It\'s definitely going to affect a greater number of employees now. I\'m curious about the rationale behind such a significant escalation. It almost seems as if they\'ve chosen to encompass an entirely new demographic. Considering the agility and adaptability needed to navigate these changes brings to mind those remarkable <a href="https://dreadheadparkour.online/">dreadhead parkour</a> videos I encountered online – genuinely awe-inspiring! Adapting to these new regulations will require a similar level of flexibility and rapid decision-making. I hope we receive some straightforward guidelines soon.

Previous it was Rs. 21000/- Gross
Now it is Rs. 21000/- Basic + DA+R.Allow
Now ESI will calculating on Basic Salary.
For Example:
CTC is 42000/-pm but baisc is 22000/- then the employee is exempted from ESIc.
So please remember Now ESIC will deduct on Basic & the limit is Rs.21000/- Basic
