Dear Members,
I have a query regarding E.S.I.C. Suppose, an employee is receiving ESI benefits. His/her spouse is also working, but he/she is out of coverage of ESI because the Gross Salary is more than Rs. 15,000 per month. In this case, please let me know whether the spouse is also eligible for ESI benefits.
Thanks and regards,

Hi Sarkar,
Yes, the spouse is very much eligible. The legislation states that the insured person's spouse is eligible for medical benefits, so there is no question about the spouse's working condition. Without the spouse, the definition of family in the ESI Act is null. Please check the definition for clarification.
