Sir, it appears that the concerned government has not so far published the intended gazette notification regarding the enhancement of the wage ceiling to Rs. 21,000 under the ESI Act, 1948. If necessary, you can confirm the position either from the nearest office of ESIC or from the appropriate government department, i.e., the Ministry of Labour, Central Government, in New Delhi.

The government has yet not issued any notification on enhancement of ESI Wage Ceiling Limit to 21000/- as announced by the Central Labour Minister. Unless we receive notification, implementation cannot take place.

On Minimum Wages Enhanced by the Govt of Delhi Effective 01/10/2016
The Government of Delhi has increased the minimum wages, declaring the existing wages as basic and dearness allowance of Rs. 156, making it Rs. 9724 for an unskilled category of workman. The minimum wages consist of basic pay, HRA, and other livelihood expenses.
While fixing the existing minimum wages as basic pay, the government has not mentioned in its notification what the HRA amount will be in the new minimum wages. Does anyone have an idea about the amount incorporated as HRA in the minimum wages fixed by the Delhi Government from 01/10/2016?

Dear Fraternity,
The ESIC amendment is only in the DRAFT stage. When we read it carefully, the draft was released on October 6, 2016, for the public to comment if any. Apparently, they will wait until November 5, 2016 (30 days for the public to react) and release the final version. We can keep our employees informed of this beforehand so that we are not taking them by surprise. According to the date specified in the Gazette, we may have to deduct arrears. Any other opinions, you are welcome.
Thanks, Ganesh M K

The said notification is a draft notification only calling for objection, if any. It is valid up to 5-11-2016. The government is going to issue the final notification after the 5th of November 2016 about the increase in the ceiling of ESI to Rs. 21,000.

Hi,
1. Sir, I think there is apprehension in the minds of HR people that now, with the intention notification published for the enhancement of the wage ceiling under the ESI Act, 1948 on 06/10/2016, the Government can implement the said enhancement from any retrospective date in the final notification expected to be issued after the elapse of 30 days. In this connection, I may submit that upon examining the past practice of the Government, I believe there are no reasons for such apprehension. For example, the last enhancement of the wage ceiling under the said Act was carried out as per the following details:
(a) Date of intention notification: 27/02/2010.
(b) Date of final notification: 20/04/2010.
(c) Date of effectiveness of the enhanced wage ceiling: 01/05/2010.
2. From the above, it is clear that the previous enhancement of the wage ceiling was not retrospective, but sufficient time was allowed by the Government. It is pertinent to mention here that the wages for the month of May 2010 were, as per practice, paid either on the last date of the month or on the 7th of the next month. The contribution for May 2010 was payable to ESIC by 21st June 2010. Therefore, I personally feel there should not be much apprehension on the subject.
3. However, since the actions of the present Government are sometimes found to be unpredictable or unforeseen, we have no alternative but to wait for the final notification. I believe it will be a strong argument for employers and affected persons to contest such enhancement of the wage ceiling from a retrospective date, even in a court of law. I think that making or amending a rule to affect retrospective deductions of contributions would be a violation of Section 40 of the ESI Act, 1948. Let's hope for the best.
Thank you.
