If the same is paid as an allowance, you should deduct ESI from it. ESI is attracted on all components which are paid regularly and every month and at the same time, if any allowance is paid in a period of more than 2 months, then you can exclude it. Attendance bonus is an incentive and is available depending upon some condition, say, 100% attendance, and as such you can exclude it saying that it is an incentive not forming part of wages as per agreement.
