Other than what Mr. Madhu T K has been posted I would like to add that ESIC authority may cross check from organization whether any payment has been made during the maternity leave period. Sometimes they want declaration from Organization regarding payment status. If it is noticed that the employee has received double benefit, it will be bad in law and ESIC authority will ask employee to refund the money.
There are certain organizations who are paying the difference between ESIC payment and Organization's rate. That is not bad in law.
