Hi Geetha..

Employee means any employee or employee drawing wage under ESI eligibilty limit (Now Rs.10,000.00)? In past I raised query on this and got mixed reply? Please confirm.

Hi..

Good question...

When tha act sets limit of 10 or 20 employees for ESI registration..it doesn't mean that all 10 or 20 employees are eligible....its just the limit for ESI registration...in the example quoted by u..only 10 employees mentioned by u may be eligible..

Hope it is clear..

What about the eligibility of a trading company? What is the meaning or limit of the term power used in the " employing 10 or more persons and carrying on a manufacturing process with the aid of power or employing 20 or more persons and carrying on a manufacturing process without the aid of power". It is alternate power or the usual power? Comsumption limit in H.P?
