    it is a welcome move for extending the benefits to the employees
    similarly they should do some method benefits reaches correctly
    to the memebers

    Though it seems an extended benefit to the employees, they are the sufferers also. Revised limit makes them bear a sudden deduction towards E.S.I from their salary. Some private companies, who had not been allowing Medical Allowance to those employees whose salary was above 10K but below 15k,(prior to this revision)now stick to the compliance of the ESI Act and are going to deduct some amount from their salary all of a sudden as per the Act.

    The E.S.I – Department should also pay attention on the issue whether the employers allowing any Medical Allowance to their employees whose salary is above 15K or not.

    Good.
    Whether ESI will be equivalent of CGHS ? Can the retired employees (including the spouse) take the benefits even after retirement like the CGHS?

    ESI can be equivalent of CGHS, so that there is no ceiling. If ESI can be parallel to CGHS, it will be a boon to the large number of salaried class especially for the retired salaried class.

    This is good or bad I don’t know but suddenly this activity by govt. will harsh all . I personally feel — everyone has their commitment from their salary & suddenly if they start deducting Huge amount from salary it will be a very pathetic situation.
    My suggestion is to make this thing optional.If someone want HE/SHE can opt.
    Govt should consider this issue once again.

  • Milan wrote on 14 June, 2010, 14:20

    Its really ridiculous & burden policy introduced by govt. m really unhappy from the day my salary is getting deducted without any use. I am a student beside work to fulfill my education expenditure & use to take self conveyence & work hard although my company provide cabs but i do this only to earn more, but now my budget had gone vest due to this new policy. This is totally useless for me. I had withdraw myself from one tution class as my budget is not more so as earlier. As per me govt. should introduce new policy rules & benefits as per requirment but should not abide in it, it should be optional not likely to be burden for general public so that everybody can avail it & be happy not live a tensed life. so my only request to govt. that govt. should once more think on this matter & do the best for general public.

    I am truely not happy with this rule.Suddenly a huge deduction in salary turns our happy life into tensed life.
    I recently got hike after 1 year but there is no much difference due to this deduction and has lot of hopes based
    on hike. I personally feel that Govt. should think on this policy again and make it as a option to choose but not making it as compulsory.
    After all Govt. is made for the beneficient of people.

    i am trully unhappy with this move of government…why they are making it compulsory for Pvt co’s to give good hike when market has improved..we didnt get any hike last year..this year again the same story and after everything they started deducting for ESI which is really irrelevent for me.. we have such a limited budget that cant afford such deduction.. i agree with people who think that govt should make it optional..atleast we can refuse this deduction. even if we fall sick would not go to ESI hospital.

  • Garima wrote on 20 July, 2010, 10:51

    My income falls in the ESI category but i do not want my salary to be deducted as it would only decrease my net salary. My husband already gets a veru good reimbursement for medical. Is it possible that this amount is not deducted from my salary.

  • Pradnya wrote on 31 July, 2010, 11:06

    On one hand the govt has increased the inflation including the rate of ricks & buses,petrol, diesel, etc. & on the other hand the same govt has come up with a rule of deduction of esic from our hard earned salary which is compulsary. I guess this can happen only in India where the govt does not care about their own citizens. I believe India is a democratic country & we as citizens should be taken in confidence before implementing such rule. The govt only wants to make money from our hard earned money which is totally wrong & citizens of this country should object on this policy. According to me this policy should be made optional & not compulsory. I as an individual cant make change but if we stand united we can make change. So guys come forward to stop this dictatorship of our govt.

    Dear sir/Madam,

    Am Raju working for a software company as an Office admin. In the month of october my salary is revised from 1.44 to 2.4 lakhs. Relate to this previously am coverd under ESI so am able to cancell that ESI if not the ESI deductions is applicable only on ceiling limit of 15000/- or whole 20000/-.

    Pls help me in this matter in my company they have deducted the ESI on whole amount of 20000/- not on 15000/- i.e 1300/- instead of 975/- is this right or ?

    Thanks & regards,

    RAJU.R

  • Prashanth wrote on 12 January, 2012, 17:01

    Hi Raju,

    The max ceiling limit is Rs.15000/- only. If it more than that there will be no deductions. Its basically deducted on gross. As you said your salary hiked from 1.44 to 2.40, then there will be no deductions from your salary.

    Kindly check with HR & get confirmed.

    Regards,
    Prashanth

When we never ever ever ever ever visit ESI facility then why the hell it is deducted from salary…? And where the hell are ESI hospitals? if they are near my home thats alright but if its 10KM away from my home wats use of it??? What the hell is compulsion?? why can it be optional?
