Hi,
As you are aware the contribution period & benefit period are as follows:
Contribution period Corresponding Benefit period
1st April to 30th Sept. - 1st January to 30th June of the following year
1st Oct. to 31st March - 1st July to 31st December of the year following
Since deduction/contribution already commenced it's not advisable to stop the deduction. On the other hand if your contribution is continued you get the benefits during the benefit period i.e., 1st July to 31st Dec.forthcoming notwithstanding the fact that your salary exceeded the coverable limit. There is no possibility of any refund on the plea that your 'salary' has crossed the threshold limit of Rs.21000 but entitled to ESI benefits.
