A workman having fixed wages of 25000 per month (for 26 days) is not eligible for ESI coverage if he goes on leave or is absent, causing his wages to fall below 21000. In this case, whether he is eligible for ESI coverage or not is a matter of concern.
I have discussed this issue with many officials, all of whom have different opinions. Seniors, please shed light on this matter.

ESI coverage is decided by the notional wages principle whereby if the (notional) wages exceed Rs. 21,000 when an employee works for the entire month, for example, 26 or 30 days, he will be excluded from ESI coverage. In the following month, if his salary drops to less than Rs. 21,000, the number of days present would also decrease, and therefore, there is no need to cover him because his notional wages are still above Rs. 21,000.
Please note that if the employee receives any conveyance allowance, that allowance may be deducted from the gross salary to determine his eligibility for coverage under ESI.

All the benefits as per the Maternity Benefits Act, such as 26 weeks of paid leave, prenatal and postnatal care, or a medical bonus of Rs 3500, are available to employees covered by ESI. The salary during the maternity leave days will be paid directly to the employee by the ESI Corporation.
