PENALITY NOTICE ISSED FROM ESI


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
An ESI penalty notice was issued following a site inspection, demanding payment based on various expenses like rent and labour charges. However, ESI contributions are legally calculated as a percentage of employee salaries, not other business expenses. The notice appears to be incorrect, and it's crucial to confirm ESI coverage and the correct calculation basis.

06 July 2022 The last month we got a notice from ESI for a site inspection. At the time of inspection, the inspecting officer verified our Blance sheet and Profit & Loss account.
After a few days we again got a notice from ESI and asked to pay 28318 (4% for our expense like Rent, Repairs & Maintenance, Labour Charge, Shop Expense, Service Charge, Loading Charge).

Please provide the ESI rules about shop expenses.

07 July 2022 ESI not payable on your expenses. It's 4% payable on salary paid to your employees.
E.S.I. Scheme being contributory in nature, all the employees in the factories or establishments to which the Act applies shall be insured in a manner provided by the Act.

The contribution payable to the Corporation in respect of an employee shall comprise of employer's contribution and employee's contribution at a specified rate.

The rates are revised from time to time. Currently, the employee's contribution rate (w.e.f. 01.07.2019) is 0.75% of the wages and that of employer's is 3.25% of the wages paid/payable in respect of the employees in every wage period.

Employees in receipt of a daily average wage upto Rs.137/- are exempted from payment of contribution. Employers will however contribute their own share in respect of these employees.

07 July 2022 But Sir, ESI authorities asked to pay 4%. please give your mail id, i will send the notice

07 July 2022 It's a wrong notice.
First check are you covered under ESi.
How many people you employ.
4% is applicable on salary paid only, not on rent and other expenses.
