  3. Enter the Percentage in the Value Basis field

  4. Similarly, enter the From Amount, Amount Upto, Slab Type and Value Basis details for the next slab

Note: The amount is not specified in the Pay Head creation for ESI as the same will be picked up from the Satutory Master file.

  1. Press Enter to accept.

Note: Any income of a regular nature will be subject to ESI calculation viz., Basic Pay, Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, Conveyance, Overtime etc.

 

ESI Deduction Pay Head should be added in the Salary Details after Basic Pay, HRA, Conveyance and Overtime as the calculation for ESI is dependant on these Pay Heads.

 

Also, when more than one Pay Head is added in the formula for Calculation, you need to make sure that the independent Pay Heads appear first and the dependent Pay Heads later (e.g. HRA is dependant on Basic and hence, Basic should come first then HRA).
