  • To be eligible for maternity benefits, the woman employee should have made a contribution for at least 80 days in the preceding two consecutive contribution periods
  • Maternity benefits are available up to 26 weeks, but the benefits start only eight weeks prior to the expected date of delivery.
  • If a woman has two or more surviving children, the maternity benefits are available for 12 weeks, of which a maximum of six weeks can precede the expected date of confinement

Please do refer greytHR compliance updates on ESI at ESIC e-Pehchaan Card to all Insured Persons

No, ESIC (Employees’ State Insurance Corporation) maternity benefits are not extended to more than two surviving children. According to the ESIC guidelines, a woman is eligible for maternity benefits only if she has less than two surviving children at the time of her delivery. If she already has two or more surviving children, she is not entitled to receive maternity benefits for subsequent deliveries.
