In your salary structure all the components will attract ESI. Overtime is not a regular component of wages and therefore, it will not be counted for deciding whether the employee is covered under the ESI, but for a covered employee, contribution will have to be paid for wages including overtime wages. Similarly, if the incentives to sales officers is paid every month, then the same will be considered as wages qualifying ESI. On the other hand, if the incentives are paid quarterly (any period in intervals of more than two months) then the same will also be out of ESI.

Hello Madhu. T.K,
Suppose if the incentive of April and
May paid any time in june shall be out of
ESI or not,

If incentive is not paid monthly it will not attract ESI. If medical allowance is merely an allowance, it will attract ESI. Rest of the components will attract ESI. BTW hope you know about contribution periods. If you don't, please visit ESI website, it is critical info.
