Salary Increase And Its Effects On ESIC

I was getting Rs.17000 salary till Dec 2016. Now my Salary had been Increased to Rs 21250/- w.e.f January 2017 but as per my company norms we receive the Arrear pay after 3months ie With April Month salary i am getting my arrear pay along with my revised amount. Since my Salary had been increased to Rs.21250/- now i have crossed ESIC limit. So please let me know can i stop my ESIC contribution with immediate effect? If NO, then how long do i need to contribute and why? Please clarify !

You need to wait till March end, since the contributory period of ESIC is April - Sept and Oct - March, any increment or salary revision will not effect the ESIC Contribution till the 6 month contributory period is not completed.
