Dear Avishek,

ESIC is not applicable to the above-mentioned salary structure as the gross salary is above 21000.

Dear All,

As Washing Allowance is not considered as wages as per ESIC Act, then should Rs. 20,700 (Gross - W/A) be applicable as ESIC wages?

Kindly confirm.

Dear sir,

As per the particulars furnished, the amount is Rs. 19,550 + washing allowance Rs. 2,330 (which cannot be considered as part of wages). Therefore, you must cover that employee under the ESIC.
