Hello Harikrishnan Sir,
My wife works for Fortis hospital Bangalore. From this year FEB 2017 onwards they are attached to ESI and everymonth money is deducted for ESI. She delivered on August 10th. When I approached ESI for salary benefits and claim submission form, they said Under ESI maternity wage benefit u r entitled only after completing 9 months. So, they said we have to collect the salary from employer. But the HR says it's ESI who has to pay or else u will not get any salary for 6months as company will not pay. U can take leave and join back. Can u advise how to resolve this issue of 9 months under ESI or Employer should pay.
