ESI covers employees whose wages are up to ₹21,000 per month. The employee contributes 0.75% of wages and the employer contributes 3.25%, so the total is 4% of wages.
The contribution for a month is generally due by the 15th of the following month. Please check the current position on the ESIC portal.
