Hi,
ESI should be paid till the half yearly return of that particular year.
Example-
let's say an employee mr. Abc got salary hike & gross sal. goes to 16000 in the month of june 13 then the esic should be paid until we submit the half yearly return in may 13 after that we can stop esic contr.
Thanks,

Dear Nitesh ji,
Can you please throw some more knowledge on half yearly return, what is it? What is the period? When and how is it to be submitted and why? If not submitted, what will happen to you, to ESI and to IP?
Your reply will help the members to understand the ESI Act.

It is not half yearly return but contribution period. That means, an employee whose salary (ESI qualifying salary without considering unusual variable pay, like incentives, Overtime pay, and other amounts like washing allowance which are excluded from wages) crosses the limit (at present Rs 15000) in the middle of the contribution period (we have two contribution periods, viz, April to September and October to March of the following year) we have to contribute till the end of the end of the contribution period. That is, if salary crosses Rs 15000 in June, contribution should be paid till September and if in the month of October salary is increased then contribution should be paid till March, ie, end of the contribution period.

Salary of coverage should only be taken as salary for out of coverage. If salary increase is due to increase in any variable component in any month, that should not be taken as increase for the purpose of out of coverage. Variables which are paid in an interval of not more than 2 months should be taken as part of salary whereas overtime will qualify for contribution though for deciding coverage the same is not taken in to account.

Dear Sir,
I agree with your views but i have one dought if any employee covered under ESI he/She left month of July 12. then what will we do. its ESi contribution will be stop at the timing of leaving service of the company or not.

If the employee leaves in the middle of the contribution period his contribution will automatically stop from the last day of his leaving.
