Employee State Insurance (ESI) is managed by the Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) which is an autonomous body working under the Ministry of Labour and Employment. The ESI scheme was started for providing medical, monetary and other benefits to Indian workers.
Any non-seasonal factory or company having more than 10 employees (in some states it is 20 employees) who have a maximum salary of Rs. 21,000 has to mandatorily register itself with the ESIC and provide the ESI benefits to its employees.
Latest Updates
E.S.I.C. contribution rates are reduced W.E.F. 1st July 2019.
The ESIC is a social security system that is designed to provide socio-economic protection to workers and their immediate family and dependants. The rates for the contribution are declared by the ESIC and are revised from time to time.
The contribution includes both the employer and employee contribution. The latest revision is w.e.f. 01.07.2019 and the rates are as follows:
If the employee’s daily average wage is up to Rs.137, they are exempted from making the contribution; however, the employer must make their share of the contribution.
The Employers must deduct the employee contribution from the wages bill and must pay the employer and employee contribution at the rates specified above within 15 days of the end of the month in which contributions are made.
Designated branches of the State Bank of India and some other banks are authorized to receive the contribution on behalf of ESIC.
