Maternity benefit coverage - working in a factory in where ESI is NOT applicable

Hi, I have a query. A female worker is working in a factory in where ESI is NOT applicable. Her salary is 25000 which exceeds the legal wage ceiling (Rs 21000) for benefits under the ESI Act. In such a scenario is she eligible for cash benefits by the employer for all the leave taken before and after delivery?
Thanks and Regards

yes she is eligible provided she had worked for 80 days before commencement of her leave.

If the company's all-inclusive manpower is 10 or more Maternity Benefit Act is applicable to it. There is no mention of salary in the act,is applicable to all female employees. benefits under ESI & the maternity act are same.

Thanks Aniket and Srikant for the clarification.
