Maternity Leave Pay: Do Women Get Full Salary or Just Basic Pay Without ESI Coverage?

vyshnavi-vasudevan
Are women employees eligible for full pay during maternity leave or just basic pay? Additionally, is it mandatory to provide 6 months of paid leave if they are not covered by ESI.

Thank you.

Hi,

Female employees are eligible for a gross salary, and it is mandatory to provide six months of paid leave as per the Maternity Benefit Act.
