Calculations for PF of Basic+DA, ESI on Gross earnings (Washing allowance is exempted). The difference between gross salary and gross earnings is as follows: for example, if your gross salary is 9500/month and you worked overtime/got holiday wage or any other component like incentive, etc., where the earning of that month is 11000, you are entitled to ESI deduction.
