ESI is applicable only for the establishments/ factories located in implemented areas, which are notified as such. The Act is not applicable to the units located in non-implemented ares. The list of the areas implemented is available at ESIC local offices.

Dear Rajeshwar78,
On the basis of information provided by you, the ESI Act is applicable to your private limited company. Under Section 1(3) of ESI Act, 1948. the act is applicable to all the factories and specified establishments employing more than 20 employees. Thus, it is a statutory obligation for your company to register the organisation, provided it falls in the implemented areas. The registration process can be done by submitting Form 01 along with the enclosures to the Regional ESIC Office.
Another clarification is that the wage limit of Rs.15000 is considered only to determine whether the contribution is payable w.r.to a particular employee. In case, the no of employees in your company drawing less than Rs.15000 does not exceed 20, but the aggregate number of employees employed by you or through a contractor exceeds 20(irrespective of the wage limit), still the ESIC Act is applicable.

Thanks for replies. I was under ESI insurance along with hundreds of fellow employees till March 2013, so my company is under ESIC act. But surprisingly from April 2013 it denied ESI insurance as we are earning more than Rs.15000 along with incentives. My salary structure is Net pay Rs.12000 (basic+all fixed allowances), Incentives based on my performance are around Rs.5000-10000. I am not earning incentives every month and my Gross few months in a year is just my basic i.e. Rs.12000. I believe ESI eligibility is calculated on Net salary but not Gross salary which is not constant. I got the answer as, it is the company's wish to provide ESI insurance and decide who are eligible for it. But employees who are earning less than Rs.15000 and has more Net pay than me are still provided with ESI insurance. Please reply me.

If our company workers are working in another company for completion of project / Buildings for the few months & all our workesr are covered in Workmen compensation plolicy as ESIC is not applicable for us.
But that other company is applicable in ESIC & they are submiiting ESIC contribution of our workers for the said period & this contribution amount will debited to our company.
In view of above, is it right?
Hope you will reply to the same.
