The ESI Corporation has approved to enhance wage ceiling from Rs 10,000 per month to Rs15,000 per month for coverage of employees under the ESI Scheme in its 149th meeting held on Friday under the chairmanship of Union Minister of Labour and Employment Mallikarjun Kharge.
Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment Harish Rawat and the vice-chairman, ESIC, were also present in the meeting.
Keeping in view the increase in cost of living index and recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour, the corporation increased the wage ceiling limit for coverage of the employees under the ESI Scheme.
This will help the corporation to provide social security net to more and more employees of the organised sector.

pl tell me Sir
the limit of esic is depend on basic salary or gross
This is such a bad news, It is just a deduction from salary, becasue no body wants to have their treatment from any ESI hospital because of thier staff attitude and services provided by them, On behalf of so many employees I request you to take back this scheme ASAP.
The FM should also learn something from ESIC and increase basic exemption limit of 160,0000 by 50 % and make it 240,000
PT limit should also be made 10,000 from 5000
Further, it is suggested that any amendment (increase) in one statute to ensure that limit of other correlating statues is also amended (increased ) like EPF, Bonus Act, Min wages Act, Income Tax Act, Prof Tax Act.
As all these statutes are for social security, all statues to be amended concurrently with relevant provisions under the tax laws also being amended correspondingly.
It is also suggested that can we have a single law instead of so many laws called as the Social Security laws like the Direct Tax Code and the GST (which comprises of all direct and indirect tax) under one basket.
we do not know whatfor this enhancement.in the competitve world manufacturing cost increases through raw material cost,power tarrif,petrol hike alongwith this our small and medium scale manufacturers cannot absorb this unproductive esclation.they will no more competive with reference to srilanka,bangaladesh,indonatia,china and phillipinos.
let the govt reconsider this.
it not good news ,govt took in to this matter employes who ‘s detection in ctc
more loose
I really accept “anil and puti” says. What Govt. doing is not provide any befit to employee instead of give there company to get more befit then the salaried person. Why I am saying because if see the ESI hospital in all over India it not well clean and if you gone for any treatment u have to wait for hours to see the doctor, and even if you see then they will not give good treatment also, this is very bad move from Govt. if they want to do good for employee increase the PF amount and Tax amount. I India reach people are become richer and low class going lower. This is a BAD move from GOVT>>.
Does the number of employees employed remain at 20 (twenty) or has this been reduced to 10 (ten)in the case of establishments (Not a factory)using LT power only

Rgds/Jitender
Dear all,
Notification already issued on 20th April 2010 as hike from 10000 to 15000.
Increase in ESI coverage is good but facility in ESI Hospitals needs to be improved.
Further to this Income Tax Free limit should also be increased accordingly or
Employee contribution towards ESI should be considered for income tax rebate.
Kindly let me know the effective date so that we can implement thse same in our organisation.
It has been notified on April 21, 2010 to be effective w.e.f. 01-05-2010
Kindly provide the Effective Date for the New Limit.
kindly, provide effective date for change in salary limit for ESIC coverage.
till date, the authorities have not made any notification to this effect. It is being heard that certain unions have opposed the move. Hence, it is advisable to maintain status quo till formal notification is received.
pl. let us know about the effective date of esi amendment of enahncement of wages from 10,000/- to 15,000/-?
some companies are giving sufficient medical benefit to their employees who are receiving more than 10000/- salary/wages. for such employees this is a bad news. after the implementation of revised limit medical benefits will be stopped immediately on the other side burden of contribution will increased on employees and even employers also.
still not enforce.
If anyone has the copy of notification pls share with us
can any body confirm whether,esic has notified the new amendment, whereby wage limit of coverage has been enhanced from 10000/- to 15000/-?
I m totlay satisfied with Puty.I think ,This is realy a bad news
kindly, provide effective date for change in salary limit for ESIC coverage.
pl. let us know the effective/amnded date of enhancement of wage ceiling, so that the employers can take further steps for implementation of the same.
IT WILL EFFECT FROM 1ST APRIL 2010
it is one of the method to collect the public money without giving sufficient benefits to the workers, in fact the Government should first increase the ceiling of Employees provident fund and minimum wages of the workers,
instead of increasing the wage limit, the ESI ought to have expanded the minimum base covering all employees even of the establishment of three employees, this would have benefited more than covering the higher wage bracket. in social security low income group is required the benefits and not the higher income group.

The ESIC enhanced wage ceiling from Rs. 10000/- to Rs. 15000/- It will leads to get social security for more employees. But is not mentioned from which date it will be applicable. So in this regard clarification is required.
the date of effect of coverage under ESIC will be from the date of issue of notification by central government & it will be normally from prospective date.
welcome move to enchance the limit of ESI salary to 15000/-
if they apply for same rule to
EPF also as 15000/- it is ok
and gratuity also from 350000/- to 700000/- and above
