Dear All,
I have a query regarding ESI:
Currently the ESI contribution is deducted on upto Rs.10000/- wages. There is provision in the ESI act that the if an employee is drawing wages less than 10,000/- at the beginning of his ‘contribution period’, his contributions are payable for whole period of contribution period of six months even if in between his wages go above Rs. 10,000/-
My question is, if the wage is increased beyond 10,000/- then on what amount the ESI will be contributed. Is it on the a) old wages b) on 10,000/- or on c) The increased total increased wages.
Pls help.
Regards

Dear Amit,
It should be on Rs. 10000/-. Question you are asking is not cleared/mentioned in ESI Act or Rules. If inspector asks for the contribution on full wage then you can ask for clarification under the Act.

Dear Amit,
ESI will be paid on the Gross salary (which includes all components). If the person's old salary was below Rs. 10000/- you have to calculate on the original gross earnings. If the person get increased beyond Rs. 10000/- we need to pay on Rs.10000/- only. not on total increased salary. Having said, we need to continue the contribution total half year. After that he will be exempted from ESI.
