Maternity Benefit From ESI Or Company Has To Provide?

Dear Seniors,
One of our employee has come under ESI (from Jan 2017) due to recent changes.
She will be going on Maternity leave from April 2017, Pls let me know whether she will be getting maternity leave benefits (salary etc) from ESI or company has to provide that.
Pls help
Thanks
Meenu

has she got her self registered with any panel doctor or ESIC dispensary? coz establishment had t issue TIC within two weeks of joining i.e. 14/01/2017, so she must have joined some point of getting service,
if she is has done it, then surely they will allow the benefits
to get the facilities all formalities should be maintained in proper way.

Dear member, I think, the woman employee will not be eligible to get Maternity Benefit from ESIC due to the reasons that as on 01/04/2017, the benefit period for the corresponding contribution period will not start. However, in case the said woman employee was also covered earlier say for the contribution period ending September, 2016 then the position could be different. It will be more better, if you/said woman employee, if desire, may contact the appropriate branch office manager of ESIC to enquire into the issue raised in this thread.

if IP was earlier a member of ESI in the same establishment, and due to wage hike got excluded, then i dont think that there shall be any issue, but if the IP is 1st time registrant under ESIC then it would be a matter to discuss with local panel doctor or ESIC dispensary, coz without 78 days contribution, the benefits does not start for new members
also if she wish to get it from april and does not makes absence in these three months, then ESIC would not restrict.

ask the IP to register her pregnancy with ESIC, validate her card, doctors will prescribe medicines and instructions, which she has to follow, medicines are free at ESIC dispensary,
once the case is accepted by the dispensary, balance they will do, just on request and status.
so that the benefits would not get stuck. merely contribution does not entitle the employee for such benefits

She won't be eligible for ESI benefits as per rule 56 of esi rules. But company shall pay her maternity benefit as per second 5 A of Maternity Benifit Act.

if i joined on 16 jan 2017 ....now i come to know that im pregnant.....now i am eligible for maternity leave as per ESIC or not
