ESI Contributions: Can We Exclude Out-of-Coverage Employees from October 2018 Onward?

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have paid the ESI amount in the month of November 2018 for the October ESI monthly contribution. In this contribution, we have included the monthly contribution for employees who are out of coverage as well.

Are we allowed to remove those employees who are out of coverage from ESIC starting from October 2018? Please provide guidance on this matter.

Thank you.

Hi,

If the payment has been made, you cannot change or remove the out-of-coverage employee by next month. If not, please cancel the monthly contribution and upload the correct one.

No, now the contribution will continue up to March 2019, and from April 2019, you can show out-of-coverage. In one contribution period (April-Sept/Oct-March), it is not possible.
