Dear,

Please note that ESI is applicable up to Rs. 15,000/- (Gross) to an employee and it is deducted almost from the Gross Salary, except for some specific allowances. If you are providing some allowances on a monthly basis, it will obviously be applicable to all allowances.

Please specify your required pay structure so that we can better assist you.

Dear Mr. Raju,

You need to include ESI on 15500.

OVERTIME ALLOWANCE

In the case of the employer, as and when the employer finds the need to have work done expeditiously, in addition to the normal work during the course of the working hours, the employer offers the employee the option to do overtime work after the working hours. When an employee does overtime work, it implies acceptance of the same, thereby establishing an implied contract between the employer and the employee. Both the remuneration received during the working hours and overtime constitute a composite wage, making it a wage within the meaning of Sec.2(22) of the ESI Act. Therefore, contributions are payable on the overtime allowance. However, overtime allowances will only be considered as wages for the purpose of contribution calculation and not for determining the coverage of the employee under the Scheme.

This viewpoint was also upheld by the Supreme Court in its judgment delivered on 6.11.96 in the case of Indian Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Vs. ESIC, in Civil Appeal No.2777 of 1980.

Dear All,

Our construction company takes up work even in areas where ESI is implemented. I have a doubt about whether ESI is applicable for a greenfield project as well, i.e. a project where construction starts from scratch.

Dear Ramesh,

For ESI, if in the beginning of the month you have employed 10 or more employees, then you are eligible for ESI. You must apply for ESI Registration. If the gross salary of all the 10 employees is within Rs. 15,000, ESI contribution is mandatory. If any employee's gross salary is above Rs. 15,000, you can exclude them from ESI contribution.

Dear Bosa,

If your establishment is covered under the ESI Act and your project is in an implemented area, then ESI is applicable. The nature of your project is immaterial. Alternatively, you may seek exemption from the appropriate government.
