Hi , As it is mentioned that "However, the respective employers shall not pay employer’s share of contribution up to a maximum period of three years from the date of commencement of the contribution period." Does it means that for all the disabled employees having salary upto 25000, the employer need not contribute upto 3 years from the start date of contribution period? Will employer contribute only from the fourth year? For eg: If an employee has monthly wage of 21,000 for the period 30-Apr-2008.Then ER Cont Calculated for him will be '0' till 30-Apr-2011. If the employer does not contribute for 3 years then what is the benefit for the disable employee? More over it is a loss to the employee. Can any clarify this... Thanks, Madhu
No, There will be no loss to employees since the contribution will be paid by the govt. up to 3 years instead of the employer Best Regards, Mahendra http://www.tallynine.com

If the accident had happened while on duty (travelling on duty), naturally the ESI will consider it as employment injury. Similarly, an accident taken place while going home after duty or while coming to office will also be treated as employment injury or accident provided the time of accident and the place of accident are the same time and place he normally goes to office or home.
