Sir,
1. Sometimes, the old printed materials are not updated on the websites of the Government Departments. You can, however, point out the errors, if any, to the head of Region/Sub Region of ESIC on which website old rates are exhibited in any printed material.
2. Wages are not paid under provisions of ESI Act, 1948. The claims under said Act are called as "benefits".
3. The present Benefit rates are as follows:-
Sickness Benefit @ 70 % of the standard benefit rate of insured person during the corresponding contribution period (Rule 55).( Extended Sickness Benefit for 34 specified long term diseases is 80%).
Maternity Benefit @ equal to the standard benefit rate of insured person during the corresponding contribution period (Rule 56).
Disablement Benefit @ 90 % of the standard benefit rate of insured person during the corresponding contribution period (Rule 58).
"Standard Benefit Rate" has been defined under Rule 7-A of the ESI (Central) Rules, 1952 as " means average daily wages obtained by dividing the total wages during the contribution period by the number of days for which these wages were paid".
I hope you will consult and refer to the updated ESI Act, 1948 and rules / regulations as amended upto date.
