Mr. X earns wages of ₹ 20,000 per month. What will be the contributions to the ESI Scheme under the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948?

The correct answer is
Employer's contribution ₹650;
Employees' contribution ₹150

The Employees' State Insurance (ESI) Scheme under the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948 is a social security system provided by the Government of India to offer financial protection to employees in case of an untimely health-related eventuality like sickness, disability, etc.

Let's solve this step-by-step to find Mr. X's contributions:

  1. According to the ESI rules applicable since July 1, 2019:
    • The employer's contribution is 3.25% of the employee's wages.
    • The employee's contribution is 0.75% of their wages.
  2. To calculate the employer's contribution:
    • Wages = ₹20,000
    • Employer’s Contribution = \(0.0325 \times 20,000 = ₹650\)
  3. To calculate the employee's contribution:
    • Employee’s Contribution = \(0.0075 \times 20,000 = ₹150\)

Therefore, the contributions are:

  • Employer’s contribution: ₹650
  • Employee’s contribution: ₹150

The correct option is: Employer's contribution ₹650; Employee's contribution ₹150.

This is option 2 from the provided choices.
