We have appraised few of our employees in June, for whom ESI was applicable. we have paid their ESI for April 2012 and May 2012, and do not need to pay it from June 2012, as salary has increased more than 15,000/- But our consultant told us that according to ESI rule, since we have paid for first 2 months in this 6 months, we have to pay ESI for rest 4 months, June-Sept 2012.. I dont understand why we need to pay ESI when employee is getting more than 15k per month and it is not going to benefit employee or employer..
Please let me know what the rule exactly say regarding this..
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

As Ashok said your consultant is correct.
There are two contribution periods each of six months duration and once paid in this block should continue paying until the period is completed. Change can be done only in the begining of the next contribution period
Contribution period
1st April to 30th Sept
1st Oct. to 31st March
Thanks

Dear Himangi,
please find the ESIC Rules(Central)1950 & read the highlighted area Rule 50.Same incident occurs with our company & I, myself have to go to Regional Office to solve the matter. The Officials said me "You can contribute & deduct Employers/Employee portion in case it exceeds Rs 15000/- P.M. even after current contribution period if employee wishes to get benefits regularly from Esic".
With Regards.

Once you paid ESI IN THE BEGINNING OF THE CONTRIBUTION i-e Apr or Sep, till end of the contribution period, ESI is liable to pay. So your consultant’s advice is correct in this regard.
