Hi All,
I have got the notice from ESIC corporation asking me to pay the employee contribution which is five years old.As i am unware of that and my company dont have any record related to that notice. I just want to know that CAN ESIC CORPORATION DEMAND FOR SUCH OLD PAYMENT WHICH WAS DUE FIVE YEARS AGO.or it can be discard if it is five years old.
And if i will pay they will also charge our organization with 12 % int. per annu & 25 % Damages per annu. though they have not give any reminder notice in this five years.
Let me know is their any esic law that if Corporation cannot demand payment due over five years.

Dear Pratish: The liability for making ESI contribution is on the employer, it is not on the employee at all. So, pl scan the notice and attach to this discussion. Section 77 (1) (b) of the ESI Act 1948 sets a limitation of five year for recovery of contribution from employer. There is nothing mentioned about recovery from employee.
