Mr. HR Guru,,

Contribution to ESIC Fund:-

Both employee and employer have to make contribution to ESIC. The employer has to deduct contribution from wages of employee and pay to ESIC both the employer’s contribution as well as employee’s contribution [Section 39(1)].

The contribution is payable for ‘wage period’ i.e. the period in respect of which wages are payable to employee [Section 39(2)]. Normally, ‘wage period’ is a month.

The Employee’s contribution is 1.75% of wages. It should be rounded off to next 1 Rupee. Employees contribution is not payable when daily wages are below Rs. 15/-.

Employer contribution is 4.75% of total wage bill of all employees in respect of every wage period. Thus, it is not necessary to calculate employer’s contribution separately for each employee.

4.75% of gross wages should be calculated and rounded off to next 1 Rupee. Employees drawing wages lower than Rs. 25 per day do not have to pay employee’s share.

The contribution has to be paid within 21 days from close of the month. It is payable by a challan in authorized bank.

If the contribution is not paid in time, interest @12% is payable [Section 39(5) (a)].

In addition, ESIC authorities can impose ‘damages’ varying 5% to 25% of arrears of contribution u/s 85B.

Employer cannot deduct employer’s contribution from the salary of employee [Section 40(3)].

Hi,
Limit of ESIC which is 15000/- depends on Fixed Gross Salary of the employees.
Its not matter if employee earned salary less than or more than 15000/- in a particular month...
For Example..
X is an employees which fixed salary is 16000/month (Which is more than 15000/-). He is not eligible to get deduction for ESIC. If he got 14000/- in the month of Y than there is no deduction for ESIC.

From India, New Delhi
As per our law point of view esic is compulsory. and esic non - cover able area means workmen compensation act will be applicable for industry.

Refer Mr.Krishna Nandan question, where X fixed salry is Rs.16000 and one month if he underwent LOP then his salary is less than Rs.15000 then he will not come under ESI as he is not a ESI member and he is out of ESI coverage. It is only the particular month his salary is below Rs.15000 even it happens again then need not deduct ESi
