Any payment made in an interval of not exceeding two months shall attract ESI. Therefore, if bonus is paid monthly, the same will be treated as part of salary and will attract ESI. On the otherhand, bonus paid annually and following the Payment of Bonus Act will not be considered for ESI.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your quick reply. Presently Basic, HRA, Bonus (8.33%), Conveyance allowanace, Edn allowance and Fbp are my monthly salary breakups. Now that my md wants me to remove bonus from breakup but pay monthly only (showing it as addition).
Can we do that?
If yes, can you please guide me in designing my new break up?
If no, can you please suggest the new break up, if i would like to pay the bonus every quarter or every 6 months.
Please help me.

Dear friend,
As has been pointed out, any payment which forms part of salary paid at intervals of not exceeding two months will attract ESI contribution. Normally bonus is not paid monthly. Nor does it form part of salary component. While it is paid annually or bi-annually, it is taken into account for calculating the cost to the Company.

Dear Saran, As per my consider we need not pay ESI on statutory bonus. If it is production bonus and if you paid by monthly basis you should pay ESI on that bonus amount. Regards, Raghav

Dear Mr.Jain,
Thanks for quick reply,
In section 2(22)-ESI point 1) does not include--a) any contribution paid by the employer to any pension fund or provident fund, or under this Act; , our salary in consider cost to company means 24% PF amount consider is a part of CTC in that case employer 12% contribution is under ESI
