No, those employees earning more than Rs. 21000 (excluding over time allownce) per month will/can not be covered/registered under ESIC.
At present wage ceiling in esic is rs 21000 per month, I.e., only work force getting wages less than 21000 should be covered under Esic
Vinod Ji this is not my question. First you again read the question then answer the same.

I did not fully understand your query. Are u asking whether to deduct esi or not for employee salary more than 21000.
Sorry Vinod Ji.. I want to ask that todays limit of ESI is 21000 but my company deduct only those employees whose salary less than 15000. So whether company liable for the same. if yes so what the liability on company accrued.
The company is liable to pay the contribution amount of all those exclude employee's salary between 15000-21000. Any way pay the arrears contributions currently.
Later You will receive Interest and damages notice by Esic department. After that, you can pay it.
