Dear Team,

  • ESIC deduction limit 21,000 per month (Rs. 25,000 for employees with disability).
  • ESIC decision based on Employee Gross i.e. fixed salary.
  • If Eligible, ESIC will be deducted on net gross i.e. including OT.

month on month).

  • SHOULD ESI CONTRIBUTION WILL BE DEDUCTED OR
    NOT? SHOULD BE DEDUCTED
  • IS THE LIMIT OF 21000 EXCEEDING IN THIS
    CASE? ESIC DEDUCTION LOGIC BASED ON FIXED GROSS AND NOT EARNED GROSS

WHEN OVERTIME AMOUNT IS 800, WHAT AMOUNT ESI WILL BE DEDUCTED? IF
ELIGABLE, ESIC WILL BE DEDCUTED ON EARNED GROSS.
