Dear Amit,
It should be on Rs. 10000/-. Question you are asking is not cleared/mentioned in ESI Act or Rules. If inspector asks for the contribution on full wage then you can ask for clarification under the Act.

Dear Amit,
ESI will be paid on the Gross salary (which includes all components). If the person's old salary was below Rs. 10000/- you have to calculate on the original gross earnings. If the person get increased beyond Rs. 10000/- we need to pay on Rs.10000/- only. not on total increased salary. Having said, we need to continue the contribution total half year. After that he will be exempted from ESI.
