The wage ceiling limit is Rs. 15,000/- p.m. from 01-5-2010. It is Rs. 25,000/- p.m. for employees with disability. Contribution is payable on over time payment also. Since over time payment is not a regular payment, it is counted for payment of contributions, to get more cash benefit, but is not counted for wage ceiling. For example, If an employee is getting Rs. 14,000/- p.m., and he gets Rs. 2, 500/- p.m., the contribution is to be paid on Rs. 16, 500/-. Still he continues to be an employee. O.T. is not counted for the purpose of wage ceiling.

There are two six monthly contribution periods in an year. April to September and October to March. In the definition of 'Employee' under Section 2(9) of the ESI Act,the proviso reads as follows:

'Provided that an employee whose wages (Excluding remuneration for overtime work) exceed such wages as may be prescribed by the Central Government, a month at any time after and not before the beginning of the contribution period, shall continue to be an employee until the end of that period'.

If the wages of an employee exceed the ceiling limit of 15,000/- a month excluding O.T. either in April or October, he ceased to be an employee from that month and no contribution need be paid. However, if his wages exceed the limit excluding O.T. in any other month, contribution need to be paid till the end of that contribution period i.e. up to September or March as the case may be.

Dear Mr.Sanjeev,
ESI to be deducted on Overtime also, but the same should not be taken for computation of ceiling. You are aware that as per the recent amendment in ESI Act, the wage ceiling limit is Rs. 15,000/- p.m. from 01-5-2010. It is Rs. 25,000/- p.m. for employees with disability. Contribution is payable on over time payment also. Since over time payment is not a regular payment, it is counted for payment of contributions, to get more cash benefit, but is not counted for wage ceiling.

Yes ESI is applicable on OT who is covered under provisions of ESI Act, 1948. Here it is necessary to clarify that monthly coverage limit of an employee is Rs. 15,000/- (based on fixed monthly pay) and even though his earning including OT (which is not fixed nature earning) for particular month is excess to the limit then ESI contribution will be deducted on total amount inclusive of OT. Suppose monthly earning is 14,500/- and OT is 2,650/- then ESI deduction of 1.75% of employee part will be deducted on 14,500/- and 2,650/- subject to round off to next higher rupee in each case. Even if in next month monthly earning is 14,500/- and OT is 3,250/- then ESI deduction of 1.75% of employee part will be deducted on 14,500/- and 3,250/- subject to round off to next higher rupee in each case.

Dear sanjiv,
Just imagine, who will take responsibility, while an employee has been injured while working in over time. will the ESIC organisation pay for that, if we dont have a practice to pay for ot?
hence the answer is, we are liable to deduct and pay ot ESIC too.

Dear Friend,
Pls. do not mis-guide, for exemption the gross salary excluding of overtime is considered. Hence if an employee draw salary inclusive of overtime is more than Rs.15,000/- ESI has to be deducted.
Ex: Salary Rs.14,400/- - esic applicable
