There is no exemption for private hospital in ESIC Act. If the total strength of the hospital is 20, employer must pay ESI contribution for all employees getting salary upto 15000/-. regards, Kamal

PrasoonSir, sorry to disturb you again. Please let me know if the below information is correct or not:
1) For a private hospital in Maharashtra, the minimum current wage (including DA) for unskilled workers is Rs. 3832.20/-, for semiskilled workers is Rs. 3932.20, and for skilled workers is Rs. 4032.20/- (zone III).
2) According to the rules, which wages are applicable for hospital employees? Is it as per the Shop Act or as per the hospital wage rate decided by the government? (The above-mentioned wages are as per the government notification.)
3) The main unit of the hospital is in Tamil Nadu, and the branch hospital is in Maharashtra; so, which state's wages are applied? It is a private limited hospital.
Thank you in advance; I hope to receive a kind reply.
