Exemption from ESI
As regards exemption from ESI, though there is a provision to exempt it (Section 87 of the ESI Act 1948), provided that the employees are otherwise in receipt of substantially similar or superior benefits than is provided in the Act for a period of one year at a time, it is virtually impossible to provide matching facilities like medical coverage to employees and family, sickness benefit, etc.
Alternative Option: Enhance Salary Levels
The other option is to enhance salary levels for all employees above the ceiling limit, presently Rs. 21,000/- per month.
