I would like to know if a company has applied for ESIC, whether all the employees following in the slab >10000, will be covered or the employees working in the office can be exempted from it.

I want help from all the experienced here. No one has answered my question. It's just that I wanted to know whether it is compulsory for all employees to pay for ESIC. Is there any kind of exemption?

Dear Mousmi,
As per the ESIC Act, if any employee receives more than Rs. 10,000 per month, then they are not covered under the ESIC Act. If any employee receives Rs. 9,000 and is a member of the ESIC, and after an increment, they receive more than Rs. 10,000, then they contribute to the ESIC at the end of the current contribution period.
The contribution periods are as follows:
- April to Sept.
- Oct to March
