Break in Service for EPF and ESI
There is no specific rule for a break in service. Under EPF, any single day for which salary is not paid and contribution is not due is treated as a break in service. The accumulations of such breaks shall affect the pension payable, though a single day or a few days of LOP will not harm it.
Impact on ESI Benefits
Under ESI, if the number of days' contributions is less than 78 in a contribution period of 6 months, the insured employee would not be entitled to sickness benefits. Similarly, a contribution of 70 days in two consecutive contributions would make a woman employee disentitled to get maternity benefits. At the same time, no contributory conditions apply to medical benefits.
