Understanding the New ESIC Contribution Rates: How Does It Affect First-Time Areas?

Friends,

Please find attached the ESIC circular dated 15.12.2016 on the subject.

Thanks

Sir, as per ESI Reduced contribution, could someone please provide clarification regarding this reduced rate? It is ONLY APPLICABLE TO FIRST-TIME IMPLEMENTED AREAS as per ESIC Letter No 1-11/15/10/2016-ICT dated 15-12-2016.

For the existing employers and employees, should we calculate based on the new rates or not? There seems to be some confusion between first-time implementation and existing contributions.

Can you please tell me whether Dhulagarh of West Bengal falls under the newly implemented areas for ESIC coverage? And whether the special rates of 1% and 3% will be charged against wages while preparing the monthly contribution online?
