Please go through my previous post which states that the post was started long back and then the construction workers engaged at the site were not covered by ESI, but now they are COVERED. The coverage is now given taking into consideration the online facilities and medical facilities made available PAN India basis.

Dear Shri. Madhu ji,
Greetings of the day - SUNDAY. I am very sorry to bother you on this Sunday morning. With due respect, I wish to ask you, is there any notification, circular, or directives by the Corporation or by the Government affecting the change in the circular of the Corporation: Construction 4/99?
According to my knowledge, there is no such notification, circular, or directives. If you have any, please share it.

Dear Madhu ji,
Thanks for your prompt response. I have gone thru your attachment, a letter to All RDs/Director/Jt. Directors by Jt. Director (Revenue).
In my view, it is incorrect to say that this letter supersedes the earlier decision of Corporation vide Instruction No. 4/99.
This letter says that the corporation has decided to revisit the Instruction No. 4/99 directed it’s officers to conduct survey in the first phase of Public Limited Companies engaged in construction activities in the implemented areas and submit a report latest by 31/1/2011.
I have following questions:
1. What has happened to this survey?
2. What is the report of this survey?
3. Is there any decision by Government or Corporation latter on the basis of survey report?
4. Can the Government or Corporation take such a big decision of crores of construction labours with the help of such kind of internal letter or circular?
I invite experts to discuss on this issue.

Yes, I too can agree with the kargonkar...
ESI has not yet finalized the extension of the scheme to the construction workers, as all categories of construction workers come under the unorganized sector. However, due to recent computerization, the benefits can be availed. I FEEL STILL THE ISSUE IS UNDER EXAMINATION ONLY.
If the Corporation wants to extend the same to construction workers, it's always better TO WAIVE THE LIMITATIONS OF GEOGRAPHICAL EXTENSION OF THE SCHEME. Only then will the real cause GET ITS FRUITS.

Dear Madhujee,
As per the threads, kindly share ESIC Circular: A non-seasonal establishment using power, which employs fewer than 10 employees whose salary does not exceed Rs 10,000, will not come under ESI. But if it was covered once, then it will continue to be covered even if only one person is drawing less than Rs 10,000. However, for a new establishment which has 50 employees, of which only 5 are drawing less than Rs 10,000, coverage will not be there. But for coverage of provident fund, the number of employees irrespective of how many are drawing Rs 6,500 and less is the criterion.
For your auditors' reference, I attach a circular from ESIC.
Regards,
Madhu.T.K

For coverage of ESI, the number of employees employed, and not the number of employees drawing a salary less than the qualifying limit (Rs 15,000 - I think the post was very old when started) is to be taken into account. Therefore, if there are 50 employees, and none of them is receiving a salary of Rs 15,000, the establishment will still be covered under the ESI Act.

Dear Madhu Sir,
Thank you for the reply. I apologize for bothering you based on your response regarding the scenario where there are 50 employees, none of whom are receiving a salary of 15000. Will the establishment still be covered under the ESI Act?
I kindly request you to share the ESIC Instruction Circular related to this matter.
