Bhavna

Hi Bhavna.
ESI is contributed from both the sides Employee as well as Employer.
It is been calculated on the basis of Gross salary per month and the maximum ceiling is 10000 Rs./Month.
The contribution from both the sides is as below-
Employee Side- 1.75% of gross/month
So if gross of an employee is 8000/month then
ESI contribution would be 8000*1.75% = 140 Rupees
Employer side- 4.75% of gross/month
ESI contribution would be 8000* 4.75% = 380 Rupees.
Hope it might have helped you to understand the same..

Hi Amit

Hi Deepa,

Its not there that under this Act only Medical benefit is provided, apart from this some more benefits are also provided, which are as below-

1. Sickness Benefit: Every insured employee is entitled to the cash benefit for the period of sickness, certified by a duly appointed medical practitioner.

2. Maternity Benefit: A cash benefit is payable to an insured woman employee, in case of miscarriage, medical termination of pregnancy, sickness arising from the pregnancy.

3. Disablement Benefit: It is also been paid in form of cash to an employee who is injured in an accident during the course of his employment.

4. Dependent's Benefit: If nay employee dies as a result of any injury, his dependents shall be entitled to a benefit in the form of pension.

5. Medical Benefit:

6. Funeral Expenses

7. Payment of benefit in case of death.

Moreover, it is the rule that if your company is covered under this Act, then you have to be with the rules, and it is required to register the company under this Act.

Hi Amith,
ESI is calculated on the basis of Gross salary/month.

Hi All,
What amit says it valid.. an employee will remained covered for the deduction till the end of the six monthly contribution period.
You can even check with the corresponding benefit period for the ESI benefits to the employees.

hi!
Esi is caluculated on Basic + D.A. + All Allowances ( eg - Hra, Conv, O.T. ect ) + any other kind of earnings = Gross Amt.
It is diveded into two shares 1.75% that is employee share and 4.75% employer share total 6.5 %.
All employee who has their Gross Salary 10000 or less has to give their contribution towards ESI as 10000 is the celing for esi frm 1 oct 2006.
Now when u calculate it if some Amount comes in decimals you have to round it of to next rupee eg - if say Rs 45.3 it will be taken as Rs 46.
