Cash benefits under the scheme are generally linked to contributions paid. The benefit period starts three months after the closure of a contribution period. The two types of periods are elucidated below:

The benefit period corresponding to the contribution period from April to September is from January 2023 to June 2023. Hence, if the employee had paid the required contribution (e.g., 78 days for sickness benefit) between April and September 2022, they will receive benefits until June 2023.
