As per your question regarding how early you can avail leave is below.
As you mentioned your expected date of delivery is 4th Sep 2018, so, if you go back to 8 weeks before your expected delivery it would be coming 11th June 2018. You may avail maternity leaves from 11th June 2018.
Hope this suffice your query.

Hi,
In reference to the query above, I would like to apprise you that please refer to you Appointment letter wherein your JD has been described.
In case there is no clause in appointment letter wherein the management has not mentioned to change the JD, they cannot implement it.
Please address an application to the HR team apprising them about your medical health.
The alternative you have is to avail EL which can be latter clubbed into your maternity Leave.
I further suggest you should fight for your rights.
In case of any other assistance please feel free to shoot any other query.
Thanks in anticipation.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Many thanks

Observing that the state cannot discriminate in granting maternity leave, the Bombay high court has allowed a member of a consumer panel to take maternity leave for six months.
“In our opinion, there can be no discrimination in the matter of granting the maternity leave benefit of 180 days to a member of the district forum who is appointed on a fixed tenure of five years only on the grounds that she is not a government servant,” said a division bench of Justices Shantanu Kemkar and Makarand Karnik in its May 4 order.
The court’s verdict came on a petition by Prerna Kalunkhe-Kulkarni, a member of the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum in Nashik, for a direction to grant her maternity paid leave for six months. After 18 weeks of pregnancy, on December 4, 2017, she wrote to the president of the state consumer disputes redressal commission to grant her maternity leave. Since she got no response, she moved the high court.

The state’s advocate said she was denied 180-day maternity leave as she was appointed on a tenure post and the Maharashtra Civil Service (Leave) Rules 1981 do not apply to her. But her advocate argued that she has to be regarded as a government employee.
The judges noted that Supreme Court has extended benefits under the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, even to women employees of municipal corporations working on daily wages and HCs too have allowed petitions to grant maternity benefits to employees hired on contract or on ad hoc basis.
The judges said in Maharashtra benefits under the Act have been made available only to government servants under the 1981 Rules. “The benefits of enhanced maternity leave to women employees are undoubtedly... intended to give them equal opportunities in public employment,” the bench said, adding that the state’s stand cannot be countenanced as it would amount to discrimination against women employees only because they are on tenure posts.
Allowing her petition the judges said, “For the purpose of granting maternity leave, the petitioner is entitled to 180 days’ maternity leave since she is working in a tenure post of the district forum established by the government.”

HI
you are employed in a Pvt concern. Your company is covered under ESI act.It is under shops and establishment or Factories act.
Most of the employer's are not willing to give maternity benefit to their employees. They made employees to resign stating that unauthorized absence for duty .
Try to discuss the matter with your departmental head and solve.
If you don't want to continue after maternity you can fight legally .

As the question asked in anonymous way, but still answer to query in one sentence is as follows:
"Consider said female employee who opted maternity leave, as same as she is working in establishment and not on leave and pay her as per that on monthly basis"

One month immediately preceding the period of 6 weeks before the date of delivery. Any period during the said 6 weeks for which the pregnant woman does not avail of leave of absence. However, a woman is required to apply, stating the period to avail of the benefit.

The woman should have worked for at least 80 days in that establishment.
