How it is calculated

Applies when monthly wages ≤ ceiling (₹21,000). Employee share = 0.75% × wages; employer share = 3.25% × wages (total 4%), each rounded up to the next rupee. Employees whose average daily wage is ₹176 or less pay no employee share; the employer still pays 3.25%.

Worked example

Wages ₹18,000: employee 0.75% = ₹135, employer 3.25% = ₹585, total ₹720 per month. At ₹22,000 wages ESIC does not apply.

Frequently asked questions

Is overtime included in ESIC wages?

Yes — overtime and regular allowances count as wages for ESIC. Items such as employer contributions and gratuity are excluded.

What if my wages rise above ₹21,000 mid-year?

Coverage continues until the end of the contribution period (April–September or October–March) in which the limit was crossed, then stops from the next period.

Who pays and files?

The employer deducts the employee share from wages, adds its own share and pays on the ESIC portal by the 15th of the next month.
