ESI Registration: Frequently Asked Questions
Which employees are covered under ESI?
Employees earning gross wages up to twenty one thousand rupees per month in a covered establishment. Higher earners fall outside, though coverage continues till the contribution period ends when someone crosses the ceiling.
We have ten staff but half are high salaried. Does ESI apply?
Coverage of the establishment counts employees regardless of wages in most situations, while contributions apply only to those within the ceiling. Applicability needs careful counting, which we do before registering.
What do employees actually get from ESI?
Full medical care for self and family, sickness benefit at about seventy percent of wages, maternity benefit, disablement pension and dependants' benefit. It is substantial value for a 0.75 percent deduction.
What if we registered late?
ESIC can recover contributions from the date coverage began with interest and damages. Voluntary regularisation before inspection is markedly cheaper, and we handle those negotiations.
