Dear Nagaraj,
There is no provision for ESI contribution if the gross salary is more than 15,000. In other words, they are not eligible. However, the ceiling is expected to be increased from 15,000 to 25,000 soon.

Dear Nagraj,
There is no provision for availing the ESIC Benefits if the Gross Salary (not to include OT) is above Rs. 15,000/-. If the gross salary - OT is above Rs. 15,000, then he is not eligible for ESIC Benefits.

Dear all,
I agree with the views expressed by my fellow brothers. A person employed in a factory/establishment that is covered under the ESI Act and drawing a salary/wages higher than the prescribed limits is termed an excluded employee and hence not eligible for coverage, even if the employee is willing. This is because coverage is not optional for the employee but is based on the ceiling limit of the prescribed salary/wages.

Dear All,
An employee drawing a gross salary of more than 15k is not eligible for ESIC benefits. However, it is worth noting that the ESIC limit is expected to increase soon, reaching up to 25k gross per month.

No, there is no provision under the ESI Act to cover employees earning a salary less than 15,000/-. However, any employee who is physically disabled and earns a salary less than 25,000/- but more than 15000/- is covered under the ESI Act.

Dear All,
My reply is as follows in this matter:
Any employee who is willing to enroll as an ESI member, even though their gross salary is more than Rs. 15,000/- per month, can request the management to cover them under ESI. If the management is willing to bear the employer's contributions, they can pay to ESI by deducting the employee's contribution up to Rs. 15,000/- only.
For example, if one employee's salary is Rs. 30,000/-, the employee and employer ESI contributions will be paid up to Rs. 15,000/- only.

Dear Mr. Vltreddy999,

I hope you will consult the above Act/rules/regulations, and if I am wrong, I hope you will mention the provisions of the said Act/rules/regulations so that I may be able to correct myself.
Furnishing wrong information on this CiteHR, I feel, will lead to misleading a large number of viewers. I hope you will clarify the correct position in your comments by indicating the provisions of the Act/rules/regulations as mentioned above.
I may also further inform you, for your kind information, that incorrect coverage of any person under the ESI Act, 1948, and making them entitled to benefits (to which they are/were not entitled) is an offense punishable under section 84 of the said Act (punishable for both the covered person and the employer).
