shettydeep
Dear Seniors,
Let me introduce myself as Deepthi Shetty.I am working as HR Executive in a growing IT Service providing company.
I am handling majorly recruitment,payroll,leave management.I am the only HR in the Organization handling only 28 employees.
I wanted to know whether it is mandatory to pay ESIC to employees below salary of 15000 p.m??
We have 8 Employees below salary of 15000 p.m & 4 office boys on Wages basis.
Is PF and ESIC Mandatory after we cross a head count of 20 employees??
Can you explain me how ESIC works??
I mean I have heard limit of ESIC is 15000 p.m..what does this mean? Is it employees below 15000 will not pay 1.75% but employer has to pay 4.75% and above 15000 both have to contribute??

And do we have to pay it monthly?? how is the procedure...?
Sorry for bothering you but I was in need of guidance from Seniors.
Thanks & Regards,

Deepthi Shetty.

Dear Deepthi,
PF and ESIC is applicable to your company as the employee strength exceeds 20.
PF would be 12% - deducted on Basic + DA
ESIC would be deducted on Gross Salary upto 15000/-
Above 15000 gross salary, ESIC is exempted.
ESIC would be deducted on all the employees drawing less or upto 15000/- irrespective of the employment status as daily wages or monthly salaried.
ESIC contribution from employee salary is 1.75% and Employer contribution is 4.75% calculated on Gross Salary.
Hence the total contribution of emp and emplr is 6.5%
Both PF and ESIC needs to be paid monthly. Pls surf the site where the necessary information is given.
Hope this resolves your query. You can mail me at manasidotcdotshahatgmaildotcom for any further clarification.

One of my colleague was working for a well know service industry in GM position. As he left the organisation and joined their competitor the company is not signing neither his PF Withdrawal Form nor PF Transfer Form. He has left the organisation in the year 2008 and so far he iis unable to close his earlier account. Seek Seniors advice in the matter. Is there any way to complain PF Commissioner or so? Pl help.

Dear Shaila,
He can settle the dispute through Local EPF office or
It is the duty of the employer under the Act & Scheme to help Employees' Provident Fund organisation to settle the Provident Fund dues of his employees. He has to complete the prescribed application within 5 days of receipt [para72(5)] forms & hand over it to the member when he leaves the service. When a member finds difficult to get the form attested by the employer, he can get the attestation of any of the following officer & send to the Provident Fund office
