ESIC raises wage threshold to Rs 21,000
The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) today raised the monthly wage threshold to Rs 21,000, from the current Rs 15,000, for coverage under its health insurance scheme.
In a meeting held today, the ESIC board also decided to give an option to existing insured persons to continue membership even if their wage breaches the ceiling of Rs 21,000 per month.
At present, all those insured under the ESIC scheme lose their membership of ESIC as well as that of the insurance cover if their wage overshoots the ceiling.
“ESIC has raised the threshold wage limit from Rs 15,000 to Rs 21,000,” Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya told PTI after the board meeting of ESIC here. Labour Minister is the Chairman of the ESIC Board.
Both the decisions will be implemented from October 1.
Dattatreya added that the move of raising the threshold will help bring in an additional 50 lakh members to ESIC.
At present, ESIC has 2.6 crore insured persons, which covers over 10 crore people, assuming four members of a family.
The minister also said there is a plan to increase the wage threshold for retirement fund body EPFO subscribers and it may be considered in the next meeting of the Central Board of Trustees (CBT).
At present, the wage threshold is Rs 15,000 per month for coverage under its social security scheme.
Gazzeted copy of the same will be shared very soon.

Bill For Maternity Benefits Including 6 Months’ Leave Passed In Rajya Sabha

Posted by & filed under Maternity Benefit Act.

A bill that proposes six months’ maternity leave for all working women has been passed by the Rajya Sabha today, the second last day of the monsoon session. Tracking it closely was Maneka Gandhi, minister for women’s welfare, who says it is the result of two years of hard work.
The amendments to Maternity Benefits Act has been drafted by Mrs Gandhi’s Ministry for Women and Child Development, but her colleague labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya introduced the bill in the upper house.

“All through the two years while we’ve been pushing for this, pregnant women have mailed me asking, `Is it through yet?” the minister said. They had asked for seven months’ maternity leave, but the government settled on making it compulsory for all offices in the public and private sector to give six months.

This, the minister hopes, will go a long way in fixing the problem of a shrinking woman workforce. Mrs Gandhi said it would affect about 70 per cent of the woman workforce.

“You may ask if it will dissuade companies from hiring more women but I don’t think so. I think women know how to multitask,” she said.

 

The bill was to have been introduced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, but then there was what government sources described as a “scheduling goof-up”.

With only three days of the session left, they then decided to bring it first in the Rajya Sabha, since a bill introduced in that house does not lapse with the end of a session.

It was slotted for Wednesday in the Rajya Sabha, which then decided to put aside all work to debate the crisis in Kashmir. Many see the delay as symptomatic of how women’s issues are prioritised.

31 of the 244 members in the Rajya Sabha are women. The 543 seat Lok Sabha has 61 women.
