In my last thread, I had raised the question of the rule of allotment of an Insurance Number within ten days. If the notification is enforced from October 1, 2016, it would be a breach of the law. Currently, the notification has not yet been enforced, so we can't obtain the Insurance number. Should we assign Insurance numbers to those individuals who are expected to become members under the scheme?

Sir, the requirement of compliance of any rule/regulation/law arises only after the said law or amendment is made effective by the competent authority/appropriate Govt. through Gazette notification.

In our earlier gazette notifications, the enhancement of the wages limit under the ESIC legislation is prospective, not retrospective. Therefore, any gazette not published before 30.09.2016, can be treated as not implemented. You can continue to recover ESIC Contribution on Rs.15K only for the next six months.
