Dear Ravi
As per the Maternity benefit act 84 days leave can be taken, after that for the next 15 days can be taken ML with Doctor certificate after that also as per the health conditions and advise by Government doctor she can be eligible for the rest of the months also. Here is the main problem comes that ESI reimbrusement is applicable for 1/4 th salary only.
Hope you have get idea, if not contact me
