1. Dear member, if you are/were covered under ESI Act, 1948 then the maternity benefit is payable by ESIC only if you have contributed for "not less than seventy days in the immediately preceding two consecutive contribution periods" (Rule 56 of ESI (Central) Rules, 1952.

2. From the facts mentioned by you, you will be eligible only if you will satisfy the above conditions. You have not clarified whether you have same insurance number on which you have contributed in your previous employment or your present employer has obtained a separate insurance number for you. In many cases, when a separate insurance number is allotted, the insured persons/women becomes disentitled for benefits due to less number of days against said insurance number.

3. In order to clear your doubt, I will suggest you to please contact the nearest ESI Branch Office to which you are presently attached alongwith your identity card and insurance number pertaining to previous employment (if separate) and discuss the issue. The Branch Office to which you are attached is the appropriate authority/office for deciding eligibility and payments of cash benefits including maternity benefit.
