Section 56 under ESI Central Rules 1950 mentions,
" An IW shall be qualified to claim maternity benefits for a confinement occuring or expected to occur in a benefit period, if the contirbutuions in respect of her were payable for not less than 70 days in the immediately preceding two consecutive contribution periods."
Some of our women employees did not get their maternity benefit. On enquiry, we were pointed to this section. Can any one explain and give me expert advise on this?
