hi,
as per esi act, i doubt there is a provision for get exemption on the following components while taking gross pay as the criteria for esi eligibility:
1. Transport allowance
2. Washing allowance
3. Contributed epf / pension fund
can experts let me clarify with clear proofs that how far we can go legally while synchronizing with min wages as well as esi exemption on the above components ?
4. Is there any way for getting complete esi exemption ? What is procedure ? Ours is a hospital.
