New Contribution Rates For ESI (newly Covered Establishments)

Dear All
Our factory covered under ESI act, 1948 wef from 01/09/2016 as per new amendment of the act. My query is, as per new GO, if any establishment newly covered under ESI act, the contributions will be Employee 1% and Employer 3% instead of 1.75% and 4.75% for further 24 months. But, I am trying to upload the challan through portal, but system generates the challan for 1.75% and 4.75% total 6.5% instead of 4%. Please guide me in this regard.
Regards
Ram

reduced rates of contribution is applicable in only specified zones, where ESIC is launched fresh .

Mr. US Sharma is right.
Contribution @ 3% & 1% for 24 months is applicable to the area where the ESI scheme is launched fresh. If in your area, the scheme is already existing, then the normal contribution will be applicable.

Dear sir.

pls let me any GO for the same pls help me in this matter
thanks and regards

Dear Jalluriram,
You query is valid. and there is need to change the software changes by the ESIC officials.
The software team in Delhi is working on it, and it will take some time.
In the mean time, you can submit the challan with Old rate -
i.e. 6.50 % and afterwards you will get the rebate on the same.

"Contribution @ 3% & 1% for 24 months is applicable to the area where the ESI scheme is launched fresh" what are the areas where it's launched fresh as my establishment is in Sikkim, District - East Sikkim.

Respected sir
pls dont do guess work.. i dont think such g.o.for newly covered areas as such. There should be always uniformity ....kindly verify again and suggest. to the forum...ok

This scheme (1% & 3%) ends on 31.08.2018.
it counts from starting date. 01.09.2016 (2 years)

Do we have any government orders or circulars for EPF, ESIC, gratuity, bonus, if yes, please share only orders issued by government.
