There is a problem regarding the ESIC, i.e., whether the ESI is to be deducted on gross salary or basic salary. Suppose the salary of ₹18,000 is decided by the employer, then the basic is ₹18,000 * 40% = ₹7,200. In this case, I should deduct the ESI contribution of 4.75% from the employer and 1.75% from the employee's contribution. The question is whether these percentages should be deducted based on the basic salary of ₹7,200 or the total salary of ₹18,000.

Please provide clarification on this issue.

Please note that if salary <15000 only eligible for ESIC. It should be on gross salary only. REgards Eswar.k 8056041800

First, ESI is calculated on the monthly gross salary. Second, any employee receiving a monthly gross salary of more than 15,000 does not fall under the purview of ESIC. For any further clarification, feel free to write or discuss.

We have to take into consideration the gross salary only for the calculation of ESI. The ESI eligibility amount has been increased from ₹10,000 to ₹15,000.

Following your example, if the salary is ₹18,000/-, the gross salary may be ₹13,000/-.

ESI Calculation:

- ₹13,000 * 1.75% for the employee
- ₹13,000 * 4.75% for the employer.
