ESI contribution is not covered for the salary Rs.15001/- and above. but if salary is Rs.15000 and below, we have to contribute 1.75% from Employee on gross salary.

It’s not a choice. If someone has a salary of 35000 per month, that employee can not be covered under ESIC

Mandatory Nature of Social Security Schemes
Social Security Schemes such as ESI are not optional. These schemes are compulsory because they involve mandatory contributions and insurance.
Currently, there is an abundance of negative information circulating on social media platforms and in newspapers regarding ESI and EPF. The government has even proposed a bill to eliminate these schemes for medium-scale and small units/factories. In light of this situation, may I inquire why you are interested in becoming a member of the ESI Scheme and contributing, especially considering that the statutory coverage limit is only Rs. 15,000 per month.
Thank you.

This is interesting information. Please clarify what is illegal under the act. To the best of my knowledge, it is illegal to try getting ESIC benefits for an employee whose gross salary is above 15,000 per month.

Eligibility for Coverage Under the Employees' State Insurance Act
Under the Employees' State Insurance Act, a coverable employee is one who has been drawing a salary/wage up to Rs. 15,000.00 per month. Only those employees are entitled to coverage and subsequent benefits under the Act.
If anybody is drawing a salary/wage over and above the limit for coverable employees and is covered under the scheme, it will be illegal, as the said employee does not fall under the definition of "Employee" under the act. Therefore, even if they are covered, they will not be legally eligible to receive any benefits of the scheme, and ESIC Corporation will not entertain any claims from such non-coverable employees.
