Dear Sir, If you are paying it in a salary which i think you are then it contributes to gross salary hence included.

The act says if washing allowance is paid to 'defray' (loosely meaning cost of washing) is not ESI wages. So you decide. It is felt that if washing allowance of, say, Rs. 10 is paid for day worked then it may be OK, even Rs. 15 will be OK I guess. But any allowance beyond Rs. 15 can not be justified to compensate for cost of washing if questioned by authorities.
This information (not allowance amount) is available on ESI portal under FAQ.
Aniket Pathak, please note.

Washing Allowance shall be taken in to consideration for ESI Eligibility i.e. 15000 gross salary but no ESI shall be deducted on Washing Allowance. Its not a wages under ESI act.
