of employees
(excluding remuneration for over-time work)
is Rs. 10000/- (w.e.f 1st
October, 2006). Earlier it was
Rs. 7,500/-per month w.e.f.

An employee who is coverable at the beginning of a contribution period shall continue to remain covered till the end of that contribution period notwithstanding the fact that his wages may exceed the prescribed wage ceiling at any time after the commencement of that contribution period.
Wage ceiling for purpose of coverage is revised from time to time by the Central Govt. on the specific recommendation of the Corporation.
