Esic Ceiling Limit Increase To Rs. 21000 - PDF Download

If an employee opts to continue membership when his salary increases above Rs. 21,000, do both the employee and employer have to contribute? And on what amount should the contribution be calculated - on the increased salary or up to Rs. 21,000?

In ESI, the salary limit has been enhanced to Rs. 21,000 from October 2016. The ESI contribution rates and calculations will remain the same.

Sir, it appears that the concerned government has not so far published any notification regarding the enhancement of the wage ceiling under the said Act.

Sir,

Should we start implementing a process to inform employees, or should we await the notification? In case of notification, implementing it effective from 1st October 2016 will be difficult. Management definitely would not like to increase the CTC, and employees will not want to reduce their NTH, which will lead to a time loss in arriving at a common ground.

Dear Seniors/Experts,

The government has not yet published these changes in the gazette. Should we wait until the notification comes, or can we go ahead and implement it from 1st Oct'16? We are expecting a few people to join our organization and are confused about whether to put them under ESI or GMC. Can you please clarify?

Sir, I think it will be more appropriate if you can confirm the position from the concerned office of ESIC to which your unit is attached and take action accordingly.

Sir, the Central Government has now issued a draft notification regarding the enhancement of the wage ceiling under the ESI Act, 1948. A copy of the Gazette Notification dated 06-10-2016 is attached herewith for the kind information of members of this forum.

Hi,

This government notification is already available, but is there any progress? Has the final gazette notification been published?

Thanks,

The final notification is yet to come. Until then, only the existing ceiling is applicable.
