Dear Arti,
Nothing can be done, since the ESI limit is raised to Rs. 15000/- ( I.E. Gross salary). It is mandatory for him. Further it is bebeficial for him only. Explain the Benefits of ESI to him and continue to pay the contributions.

Dear Aarti,
If the employee is staying in an area where ESI Scheme is not applicable i.e. it is a Non-implemented area, exemption can be claimed from ESI Department about the specific case.
If he is living in any area where ESIC is applicable, nothing can be done.

Anil Kulkarni.

Hello Arti,
ESI applicablity is mandatory for all peoples whose salary is gross or ctc below 15000/- & ur solution is if employee does't agree esic contribution regularly. So, u have first received the resign immediatly and left the employee. Salary will pay on casual basis.
thanks,

Dear Arti,
ESI is a mandatory for employees who are getting salary Rs.15000/- inclusive of all allowances, not CTC. I mean the Employers pf contribution, bonus, gratuity etc., should not be included.
In your case his salary is below Rs.10000/-, hence the ESI is must for him. No way to exempt him from ESI cap.

Dear Mrs. Arti,
The one of the Social security benefit is ESI. Once the organization covers under ESI purview, every employee who are drawing salary below Rs.15000/- inclusive of all allowances. Here ESI deduction on CTC is meaningless. hence he should not be exempt from ESI covering.

Dear Mr. Chander,
this is for your information that even for casuals the principle employer is responsible for the payment of ESI. It is unstatutory to employ casuals who are not kept under the cover of ESI.

Coverage under the ESI Scheme is not a matter of choice. It is a statutory obligation which has to be complied with.
Well. to answer your question nothing can be done to accede to the employee's request. He will continue to be covered under the ESI Scheme till he crosses the Rs.15000/- p.m. Gross Pay limit.

There is no chance in exempting the ESI. AS the limit is increased to s. 15,000/-. Other option is that increase the salary to Rs. 15,500/- so that he can get the exemption.

Dear Arti,
ESI is a mandatory for employees who are getting salary Rs.15000/- w.e.f. 01.05.2010 inclusive of all allowances i.e. (Whatever you pay in payroll) basic, HRA, Conv. All. etc but not CTC. mean the Employers pf contribution, Employer Esi Contribution, gratuity, Bonus etc., should not be included.
In your case his salary is below Rs.11000/-, hence the ESI is must be deduction and your organisation is bond to deduct ESI. There is No way to exempt him from ESI.
