Dear Sir, Can anybody confirm whether food and Tea allowance is included Under the ESIC calculation?
Ridham Patil
Yes,
All Allowances which are Fixed and part/parcel of Salary on monthly basis are deemed as Wages for ESI Contribution, Except Washing Allowance, LTA, & Periodic Incentive If given spontaneous and rare and not on monthly basis.
Hope the above shall Suffice your Query!!

Thanks a lot for prompt clarification Shri Ridhan Patil sir

Here, I would like to clarify the following

Food/Milk allowance paid at a fixed rate irrespective of whether the person is absent or on authorized leave etc. will be treated as wages ?
Food/Milk allowance paid with deduction for leave or absence etc. will be also treated as wages ?
Glidor
any amount paid along with monthly wages, is subjected to ESIC contribution.
