Dear ESIC must be calculate on Gross Salary. Gross Salary stands for earning salary of employee without any deduction like PF, ESIC. CTC = cost to company (All legal expenses of an employee)

Dear,
As CTC word says itself Cost to Company.
CTC includes = PF & ESIC (Employee + Employer), Bonus, EL Encasement + Gratuity. these are normally comes under CTC, its depend on company policy what expenses they will include in CTC, which they spend on an individual employee.
Gross Salary includes = PF & ESIC contribution of employee.
Hope your query is clear now.
