Am I Eligible for ESIC Maternity Benefits After Changing Jobs? Seeking Advice

Hi, I want to know if I am eligible for maternity benefits from ESIC. I have my ESIC card from a previous company, which I left on March 21st. I joined another company on July 1st, and my due date is November 28th. Can someone advise on my eligibility for benefits?

No, you are not entitled to maternity benefits because you need to have a 9-month contribution for it.

Information Required for ESIC Eligibility

Please provide the following information:

1. Date of Joining (DoJ) and Date of Leaving (DoL) from the previous company, salary, and whether you were covered under ESI.
2. Date of Joining (DoJ) in the current company, salary, and whether you are covered under ESI.
3. Is there any gap between joining the two companies? If yes, how many days?

Thank you.

To be eligible for maternity benefits, you are required to complete a minimum of 84 days.

Alphonse

In this regard, please note that to be entitled to maternity benefits from ESIC, a female employee must complete 70 days of employment under the management and contribute to ESI for 70 days in a year.
