Hi,
My understanding of the situation is that while a favourable decision to raise the coverage limit for ESI from salary/wage of Rs. 7500.00 p.m. to Rs. 10,000.00 p.m. has been taken by the Ministry, the appropriate NOTIFICATION under the Act has NOT yet come. It is expected that the decision would be made effectice October 2006
I also understand that in case of ESI, "amendment of law" is not necessary. Only a "decison of the Ministry" is adequate. (But I could be misinformed about this particular point!)..
We have to wait for some more time to see this revision becoming effective!!
