Maternity benefit under ESIC - employer is saying she will not get any maternity benefit since she is not at work

My wife is pregnant and expected date of delivery is 18 Sep 2020. She is not at work since 22 Jan 2020 due to pregnancy.
She has following contribution.
March 19 to Sep 19 - 148 days
Oct 19 to Match 20 - 90 days
March 20 to Sep 20 - 0 days
Her employer is saying she will not getting any maternity benefit since she is not at work (as per their consultant opinion)
Will she get maternity benefit?

If she is not getting covered under the ESI Act, then the employer would be liable under the Maternity Benefit Act 1961. She fulfils the eligibility period of service as per the Act.

Dear Ganesh, Please log in to ESI IP Portal with ESI Insurance Number & check eligibility for Maternity Benefit.If not eligible under ESI, She will be eligible for Maternity Benefit by the Employer

I have checked online, she is eligible. What is exact procedure to claim it?
Before delivery , have we to submit any form to esic office

She has to report before the Medical Officer of the concerned ESI Dispensary and the rest they will advise.

I have sent her to her parents home due to corona virus situation in Mumbai. No I am confused what to do?
