Employee Contribution is - 1.75% of Salary rounded off to the next highest Ruppee. For eg. if 1.75% of gross salary is Rs. 52.10, then employee contribution will be Rs. 53
if the salary of an employee is more than 10,000 then we don't have to remit contribution for him towards ESI. But please note that remittances to ESI is counted as two contribution periods. ie April to September and October to March. If an employees salary is 9000 in April he has to remit ESI contribution. If in May he got a promotion and his salary in May is 11000 then also ESI should be deducted from him even though his salary is more than 10000. This should continue till the end of the contribution period ie up to September.
