Dear Bhavin,

To avail the benefits, you need to meet with your HR team along with an application for maternity leave and a Medical Certificate from a registered medical practitioner. After the baby is born, you need to inform HR and submit the baby's birth certificate to the organization.

Thank you.

Dear Bhavin,

The employer has to obtain "Form-D" under Rule 5(1) of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 duly completed and signed by the employee before proceeding on maternity leave. This should be done together with a medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner indicating the expected date of delivery.

Thank you.

Please find "FORM-D" under The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 for your information.

Hi,

In order to avail maternity benefits, the insured woman covered under the Act needs to obtain medical certification and submit it to the concerned branch office of ESIC. Additionally, you need to fill out Form 19. Please refer to the form for better understanding at http://esic.nic.in/downloadableforms...0of%20Work.pdf.

Thank you.
