You can not continue to be in ESI Scheme once your salary exceeds Rs. 21000 p.m. Therefore, enrolment In ESIC after exceeding the ceiling limit 21000/- is not possible.

Dear Mr. Joshi,
As an employer, you only have to cover employees drawing a gross salary of Rs 21,000 per month and below under the ESI Act. In respect of employees whose gross salary goes beyond Rs 21,000 per month, they become excluded employees. Please let me know if you are an employee or an employer.
However, ESI-covered employees can continue to maintain their membership even after crossing the wage ceiling of Rs 21,000 per month. They need to contact their local office to know further details. Please review the attachments in this connection. The employer has no role in this aspect.

Dear Srinath Sai Ram,
I am totally confused with your following statement given verbatim:
"However, ESI Covered Employees can continue to maintain their Membership even after crossing the Wage ceiling of Rs21,000/- PM. They have to contact their Local Office to know further details. Please peruse attachments in this connection. Employer has no role in this aspect."
I am also confused about your attachments, which have no relevance to the subject matter.
May I request you to revisit your post and reply with support?

Dear Korgaonkar Sir,
For your ready reference, relevant contents of the attachments are mentioned herein, once again
"Other than hiking the wage ceiling, the ESIC board also allowed Employees to continue as embers even after their wages cross the Rs.21,000 threshold. Currently, a worker goes out of the purview of the ESIC, once their Salary Crosses the Wage Ceiling. “This is a good move as older employees need more medical attention and it should be left to the workers to decide if they want to stay with ESIC after their salary crosses the threshold,” Bharadwaj added. (Rama Kant Bharadwaj, vice-president of Laghu Udyog Bharati, a federation of small and medium industries)
Please peruse the attachments once again to get clarity.Employer has no Role in coverage of Employees under ESI Act, consequent to crossing present wage ceiling i.e Rs21,000/-PM
However, ESI Covered Employees can maintain their Membership consequent to crossing ESI Wage Ceiling by paying required Amount themselves in consultation with ESI Local Office
Hope this clarification will suffice

Dear Srinath Sai Ram Ji,
Your confidence in posting anything is highly appreciated. I started feeling that a member like me is only wasting time on this forum. I am very sorry to say it. Earlier, some time back, on a similar topic, someone advised you that what you are saying was a proposal only. Still, you are compelling members like me to accept your statements without any documentary proof.

Dear Korgaonkar Sir,
With due respect to you, I have not posted "anything," Sir, relevant material regarding the question. I never compelled you to accept my say. You are free to differ with me. Neither you nor I are ESI covered members. Let us admit that it is a proposal. Whether that proposal is in force or not will be known only when an ESI covered member visits the ESI Local Office after crossing the ESI coverage limit, provided he is interested in retaining his membership. I have shared the information which has come to my knowledge.
