Hi! I'm currently working at a firm in HR. In our company, one of the women is going to take leave for her delivery period. Will the company provide a salary for that leave period, or will that amount be provided by ESI?

If the employee is covered under ESI, then she will be entitled to benefits as per ESI rules. If not, she will receive benefits under the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, where the employer will be responsible for providing the benefits.

Our team members are correct. If the employee contributes to ESI for a minimum of 9 months, they will be eligible to receive Maternity Benefits from the ESI office. If not, we have to provide them. Please try to obtain it from ESI.

Yes, she is covered under the ESI Act. She will be receiving benefits from ESI. Otherwise, the employer will provide leave salary under the Maternity Benefit Act.
