An employee is having salary/wages under ESIC is Rs.9000 in the month of January 10 and hence his contribution is deducted under ESIC Act@1.75%.
Now for the month of feb 10 his wages/salary under ESIC are 16000, our query is whether for February contribution should be deducted from his salary and to what extent. Please note that again in March he gets 9000.
Summary of Salary/wages Jan 9000 Feb 16000 March 9000
so do we have to deduct ESIC for the month of Feb.

See.. it seems that the additional 7000/- (paid in feb,10) is some bonus etc. In other words, it seems to be of non-regular nature , hence ESI should be deducted only on 9000/-
