If you are covered under the ESIC benefit, then you will not be entitled to maternity benefits under the Maternity Benefit Act 1961. There should be at least 10 employees, and if there is any woman among them, then maternity benefits would be provided. You must have been working for at least 80 days, and you need to give notice of leave at least 6 weeks in advance, mentioning the dates. Then you will receive maternity leave with wages.
