  • In my last thread, I had raised the question of the rule of allotment of an Insurance Number within ten days. If the notification is enforced from October 1, 2016, it would be a breach of the law. Currently, the notification has not yet been enforced, so we can't obtain the Insurance number. Should we assign Insurance numbers to those individuals who are expected to become members under the scheme?

  • In our earlier gazette notifications, the enhancement of the wages limit under the ESIC legislation is prospective, not retrospective. Therefore, any gazette not published before 30.09.2016, can be treated as not implemented. You can continue to recover ESIC Contribution on Rs.15K only for the next six months.

    Notification No. F.No. S-38025/04/2010-SS-1 dated 20th April 2010, the Ministry of Labour & Employment has enhanced the ceiling to Rs. 15,000 per month w.e.f. 1st May 2010, which is reproduced below.

    Please check the last notification. It has come into force from May 1, 2016, i.e., in between the contribution period. As such, this notification may be effective from 1st December 2016 because the notification may not be issued before 5th November. Hence, it would have to be implemented from a retrospective date.

    Check the last issue for objections from the public was raised on 26.02.2010 and re-notified in the gazette in April 2010, which took effect from a prospective date, i.e., 1st May 2010. Hence, this notification may not be possible from 1st December 2016.

    The limit should be enhanced from 01 April 2017, not from 01 Oct 2016, because we can't cover the employees under ESIC Scheme from a back date. Some companies have taken the mediclaim policy for the personnel not covered under ESIC who will bear the cost of the premium and also subscribe to ESIC contributions.

    Some personnel will be covered under the scheme during Nov 2016 and then removed during Apr 2017 after implementing the annual increment.

After the government's consideration of the objections, the final notification will be published in the Official Gazette, mentioning the date of effectiveness for the order.

  • Hi friends,

    Our concern is that many of the staff have crossed the 15000 ceiling as of Sept 16 and are now out of the ESIC limit. Since the October cycle is beginning, we will not be recovering ESIC for them. If the draft is finalized and implemented, they will be back within the 21000 ceiling. Now, the question is, should we continue their recovery for now or stop it and restart it again? Because once we start contributing now, we cannot discontinue the same for this cycle.

    Request for help.

    No! Notification of applicability was not issued last year and is not expected before December 2016. If the notification is issued in November 2016, it may take effect from December 2016. However, if it is not issued until December 2016, it might have an effect starting from April 2017. (Please refer to my earlier thread dated 10 October for more information).

    Dear All,

    I read the quoted press release which mentioned that an increased wage limit was approved by ESIC. However, the press release did not mention anywhere the date from which this new limit would be implemented. To my knowledge, no notification has been issued by ESIC in this regard yet. Therefore, in this situation, it should be concluded that the limit has been approved by the ESIC board, but as of now, the implementation date for this wage limit has not been decided.

    Corrections are welcome if needed.

    In my opinion, the notification has still not been issued, and now it would be possible to be effective from April 2017. This is because the required 92 days may not be completed from January to March 2017, even if someone works for the full month in all three months. New entrants from January 2017 would not be entitled to sickness benefits in the forthcoming benefit period starting from July 1, 2017, following the contribution period from October 2016 to March 2017.

    The employee whose salary is more than Rs. 21,000 is liable to have ESIC deductions based on the increased threshold limit from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 21,000. In addition to raising the wage ceiling, the ESIC board also allows employees to remain members even after their wages exceed the Rs. 21,000 threshold.

    Hi Mr. Rohit Aggarwal ji,

    I believe coverage under the ESI Act is not optional. Currently, based on the gazette notification, the wage ceiling is Rs.21,000 per month. There is no provision for employees to choose to continue, as you mentioned.

    I kindly request you to upload a copy of the gazette notification from the appropriate government to verify the statement you made about the ESIC board allowing employees to remain members even after their wages exceed Rs.21,000. This will help me stay informed on the matter.

    Thank you.
