ESIC New Limit - Clarification Required

Dear Mr. Sudhir!
You are under the wrong impression.
According to the proviso to Sec. 2(9) of the ESI Act,if the wages of an employee crosses the wage ceiling limit, in the middle of any contribution period, he continues to be an employee till the end of that contribution period, and therefore contribution is to be paid on the total wages till the end of that contribution period.
By virtue of the contributions paid in that contribution period, he is eligible to both Medical Benefit and cash benefits (except employment injury benefit) till the end of the corresponding benefit period.
If I am wrong, kindly correct me.

Dear All
My question is if my employee is getting 14000 in the month of july so he is eligible for esi . now employee is getting 16500 so my question is on which amount esi will be deducted 15000 or 16500 ..??
Regards
Rudra

You have to pay on 16,500=00 till the end of the contribution during which such hike happened, i.e. you have to increased wages till September.....
All the best...

I have doubt on this.
My employee is supposed to get hike form 10k to 18k in october salary which will be paid in first week of November. So can i stop his esi deduction while filing october esi challan in november

If they are going to get hike to 18k........please stop their esi contribution for the wage period of october onwards......... so you can stop their esi deduction while filing october esi challan in november....
With regards.......

I was Paying salary of Rs. 6600/- to my employee in the F.Y. 2007-2008. How much ESI contribution was to be made by me are I am exempt from ESI contribution?
