ESIC Contributions for Couples: How Does It Work When Both Spouses Are Employed?

ajju@dit
If a husband and wife work in an establishment (where more than 20 persons work) in different work portfolios, how will the ESIC contribution be made? Will only the husband, only the wife, or both contribute to ESIC?

Both are different workmen under the ESI Act; as such, ESI contributions are to be deducted from their wages.

Both are insured persons, and their contributions are being made to ESIC as per norms. My question is, both are IPs and spouses - is there any rule that one IP will contribute to ESIC instead of both?
