Hi Vinay, If that employee’s gross is more or less nearing 21k increase it slightly so as to cross 21 k so that employer and employee contribution payment is not needed.

if after appraisal gross salary Exceeds 21K slab for deduction, can the deduction be stopped with immediate effect even if the ESIC deduction cycle(1st Oct’19 to 31st Mar’20) already started .i.e. if we deposit ESIC for the month of Oct’19. How a person can be compensated.
Will he get the deducted amount back if he not remain in the deduction slab from April 1st 2019 onwards.

Hi,
As you are aware the contribution period & benefit period are as follows:
Contribution period Corresponding Benefit period
1st April to 30th Sept. - 1st January to 30th June of the following year
1st Oct. to 31st March - 1st July to 31st December of the year following
Since deduction/contribution already commenced it's not advisable to stop the deduction. On the other hand if your contribution is continued you get the benefits during the benefit period i.e., 1st July to 31st Dec.forthcoming notwithstanding the fact that your salary exceeded the coverable limit. There is no possibility of any refund on the plea that your 'salary' has crossed the threshold limit of Rs.21000 but entitled to ESI benefits.
