Hi Dear,
If she is including in ESIC Act, then company don't have to pay maternity claim she can claim from ESIC.
But if she is not including in ESIC Act then company have to pay 12 weeks salary. 6 weeks before due date & 6 weeks after due date of maternity.

Dear Tweeps,
For more details you may go through ESI Act,1948 & Maternity Benefit Act,1961 for the grant of maternity benefit to an eligible woman employee.

Every women is entitled to get 45 days before the due date and 45 days after the delivery of her child.If covered under the ESI act then she can claim the benefit from there other wise during this period a company will have to pay her full salary.
It applies whether the child born is alive or dead or she had any mis carriage.

mr chetan,
mr. malik ji is absolutely right, in case on miscarriage only 6 week only. and for delivery case 6 week befor the delivery and 6 week after the delivery i.e. total 12 week maternity leave is applicable.

hi malik,
Is it compulsory that maternity leave has taken in 42 days before delivery and 42 days after delivery?
