Dear Mr H K Mehtaji, it is discussion point and it is purely my personal opinion, there is no Voluntary coverage in ESI as on date . and no benefits given by ESIC to excluded members.

Dear All,
I agree with the views of Mr. Harish. There is no provision in the ESI Act to pay the contributions up to 15,000 even though they are drawing more than 15,000/-. Specifically, mention in the act that those who are drawing Rs. 15,000/- and below will be covered under the act. Mr. Reddy's views on this are not correct.

Dear Nagaraj,
He/she can avail ESIC benefits if they are withdrawing a gross amount of Rs. 15,000 because, as per the ESIC Act, an employee whose gross salary is up to Rs. 15,000 can avail benefits of ESIC. However, if the gross salary is Rs. 15,001 or more, then he/she cannot take advantage of ESIC benefits.

Dear All,
No option is prescribed and available for optional coverage. The upper limit is 15k, and if increased, it will be 25k.
A person with an increased salary above 15k in the middle of the year is eligible for coverage for the following September or March (Half-Year Closing). After this period, his name and contribution will have to be omitted. However, to the best of my knowledge, he will receive medical benefits for the next six months (Please correct me if I'm wrong!) from the last contribution month.
Best Regards,

Hello, Mr. Nagaraj. Based on my opinion, an employee who is drawing above 15k is not eligible for ESIC due to the act. This is because a person who is drawing above 15k is definitely capable of paying money to the hospital. So, the act was developed based on some parameters to distinguish who is capable and who is not. If an employee is drawing below 15k, which is considered a low salary, they are not capable of paying additional benefits. Therefore, the act was developed with these considerations in mind. If there are any mistakes, please excuse me, my dear family members, as I am a fresher, and this is my first message.

Dear Friends,
I am an employer and have workmen who are on the verge of crossing Rs 15,000 gross salary. If they are not eligible for ESI, how can medical coverage be arranged? Are there any specific mediclaim policies?

Dear all,
The employee whose salary is more than 15k is not eligible for ESIC. But if, in any particular month, they take leave and due to absences, their salary is less than 15k, then is ESIC applicable to them?
Waiting for your valuable suggestions.
