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

Dear Madhu,
Please let us know whether the employer needs to contribute the employer's contribution from the fourth year onwards. Also, please inform us about the procedure to register one of our employees under the disability category online.
As we were not aware of this clause, we have not covered our employee under ESI, as his gross salary is more than Rs. 15,000 per month. Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi All,
I am a newly joined. Can somebody explain to me if an employee has an accident outside the company during or after office hours, who will be responsible for providing accident benefits under the ESIC Act to that employee and what is the process?

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