Therefore, any employee/worker who is drawing wages/salary of twenty one thousand rupees as per the definition of wages of the Act will now be covered under ESIC. This is effective from 1st Jan 2017, therefore, for any employee/worker whose wages is twenty one thousand rupees per month will now be covered under ESIC as against the earlier limit of fifteen thousand rupees per month. This will impact a large section of Employee/worker population who will now be eligible for the ESIC benefit
