Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of ESI contributions for employees. It confirms that only the portion of ESI contributed by the employee is considered part of their gross salary for income tax purposes. Employer contributions to ESI are not taxable in the hands of the employee.

ESI contribution by employee forms part of gross salary but employer contribution is not.
