Dear Sir,
I have earlier provided the structure of my salary to obtain information regarding the new ESI rule. Can a company remove the medical allowance component if it is a part of my salary? I am receiving a salary less than Rs. 15,000/-, or should they only deduct 1.75% from my salary?

Hi,
You need to clarify whether Med All was in lieu of ESI contribution of the employer or part of the normal salary structure. If this was in lieu of ESI contributions and you have a written agreement/notice on this, in my opinion, you can remove and pay ESI contributions in lieu.

Hi,
If it is paid to all employees as a part of the salary, the company cannot remove the medical allowance component. However, if it is paid only to employees not covered under the ESI Scheme, the same can be withdrawn once they come under the ESI Coverage, subject to the written notice/agreement.

I think at the time of joining, you had been given the letter of CTC not for salary, so the employer's share in ESI will also be deducted from your salary. Please coordinate with your HR on this; hopefully, they will let you know the facts.
