Before Budget 2026, news of a big relief is coming for the employed people. The government is seriously considering increasing the salary eligibility limit of ESIC (Employees’ State Insurance Corporation). At present, employees getting salary up to ₹ 21,000 per month are covered under ESIC, but this limit can be increased to ₹ 25,000 to ₹ 30,000 per month. If this proposal is approved in the budget, lakhs of new employees will come under the ambit of ESIC. With this, they and their families will get the benefit of free medical treatment, hospitalisation, maternity benefits and social security. Especially for private sector and middle-income employees, this decision can be of great help in reducing healthcare costs. Experts believe that this will strengthen the financial security of the workforce and will also promote organized employment.
