RE: DOUBT ON BENEFIT PERIOD OF ESIC.

Dear All,
An employees contributed for esi up to September-2011 in contribution period and after his salary increased higher than 15000/rs,so in this case he can get the benefit in Feb-2012..?
Thanks..

Dear SEETARAMA,
Yes he can get the benefit from ESI.
Contribution period Corresponding benefit period
1st April to 30 September 1st January to 30th June of the year following
1st October to 31st March 1st July to 31st December of the calendar year

Dear All,
My Date of registration on the ESI card is mentioned as 6th Dec 2011 & appointment date as 6th Nov 2011 ( My original Date of joining is 7th Sep 2011, I dont know why it says 6th Nov 2011 )
I was admitted in a private hospital on 10 may 2012 as it was an emergency.
I have two questions now
1) Am I eligible to claim the expenses incurred in the private hospital as it was on emergency basis ?
2) Will I be paid the claim if there is a way to reimburse it ? Because I will fall under the 1 Oct to 31 Mar contribution period for which the benefit period is only after July. But I was admitted on 10 May 2012
Many Thanks,
Regards,
