Maternity Benefit Act is not applicable if employee is covered under ESI. In such case benefits shall be extended through ESI.

Hi
If your management says you are not eligibile for the maternity act, you can claim the same from the ESI. You can download the form from the net, get it signed from your employer and submit. ESI pays you for the same

The GR may be applicable to govt.establsishments in Maharastra. For establishmenst in private sector, the Govt. shall iamend the provision of teh Act and issue notification in the Gazette.However without seeing the GR, it is difficult to express an opinion.
