As she is not covered / or entitled under ESI scheme she should be given MB under Maternity Benefit Act1961.
1-She is entitled for the benefit only if she had worked with you for at least 80 days in the period of 12 months immediately before the expected date of confinement.
2-If so ,she is entitled for MB @ average wages for 6 weeks before and 6 weeks after the delivery.In addition she is entitled for benefits @same rate for 30 days if she is suffering from any illness arising out of delivery.
3- She is entitled for absence from work during the above period.
4-If you are not providing any pre or post natal care free of cost you have pay her Rs 3500/ as medical bonus.9

Dear Sir
It is learnt that the MB entitlement has gone upto 180 days.

180 days is in govt service .Not as per Maternity Benefit Act 1961.
