The Maternity Benefit Act will be applicable to establishments covered under the Shops and Commercial Establishments.
Maternity benefit consists of 84 days leave with salary and a maternity bonus of Rs 3500. Of the maternity leave of 12 weeks, 6 weeks leave shall be taken before child birth though it is not mandatory that you should avail this 6 weeks leave before delivery.
A woman employee who had worked at least for 80 days during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of delivery is entitled to get the above said leave.
In case of employees covered by ESI, the payment for the above said will be paid by the ESIC. However, ESIC will give the benefit only if the delivery takes place during her benefit period and only if the said employee had worked at least for 70 days during the two contribution period. If she is not eligible to get the benefit from ESIC, certainly, the company will have to pay it.

Are you covered under ESI? If you are covered under ESI, you can claim benefits from ESIC If you are not covered under ESI, then Maternity Benefit Act is applicable\ Sivasankaran

It is payable without reference to date of child birth or rejoining duty after the maternity leave. Therefore, salary for the days one remained absent due to maternity is to be credited to her as if she had worked the whole wage month. In fact, there is a provision for payment of maternity benefits in advance.
