Dear Korgaonkar Sir,
For your ready reference, relevant contents of the attachments are mentioned herein, once again
"Other than hiking the wage ceiling, the ESIC board also allowed Employees to continue as embers even after their wages cross the Rs.21,000 threshold. Currently, a worker goes out of the purview of the ESIC, once their Salary Crosses the Wage Ceiling. “This is a good move as older employees need more medical attention and it should be left to the workers to decide if they want to stay with ESIC after their salary crosses the threshold,” Bharadwaj added. (Rama Kant Bharadwaj, vice-president of Laghu Udyog Bharati, a federation of small and medium industries)
Please peruse the attachments once again to get clarity.Employer has no Role in coverage of Employees under ESI Act, consequent to crossing present wage ceiling i.e Rs21,000/-PM
However, ESI Covered Employees can maintain their Membership consequent to crossing ESI Wage Ceiling by paying required Amount themselves in consultation with ESI Local Office
Hope this clarification will suffice
