Yes, you are eligible for the maternity benefit. Any female employee who has served the company for atleast 80 days preceding the date of delivery is entitled for the benefit. Speak to your HR...
Congratulations :)

1. Dear member, from the facts as mentioned by you, it is not clear as to since when contribution under ESI Act, 1948 and rules/regulations framed thereunder is being paid by your employer in your case. When you joined the organisation in January, 2015, it is not clear as to whether contribution has been paid from January, 2015 itself. If paid from 4/2015 only onward, then why the gap ?
2. Further, I am doubtful whether you are eligible for maternity benefit under ESI Act in December, 2015 (due date as mentioned by you) or prior to this period. The reasons being that " an insured woman shall be qualified to claim maternity benefit for a confinement occurring or expected to occur in a benefit period, if the contributions in respect of her were payable for not less than seventy days in the immediately preceding two consecutive contribution periods (Section 56(1) of said Act). If you have started contributing w.e.f. 01/04/2015, the first benefit period in your case will start from 01/01/2016 only, (though you can get only medical treatment prior to this date).Please see Regulation 4 of ESI (General) Regulations, 1950.
3. I will, however, suggest you to please visit your appropriate Branch Office of ESIC to which you are attached and discuss the issue with the Branch Manager concerned so that you may be able to get correct position in respect of your eligibility for the said benefit. While visiting Branch Office, please ensure that you have your Pehchan Card ( as issued by Branch Office, ESIC). Further, I hope, you will also ensure to get proper medical certification from the ESIC Dispensary to which you are attached.

Has to work for 80 days in the preceding 12 months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery
Maternity benefit is paid at the rate of the average daily wage for the period of her actual absence. The average daily wage means the average of the woman’s wages payable to her for the days on which she has worked during the period of three calendar months immediately preceding the date from which she absents herself. Wages includes all remuneration including cash allowances, D.a., HRA, Incentive bonus and the money value of any concessional value of food grains supplied but does not include any bonus other than incentive bonus, OT, gratuity, PF etc.

1. Sir, please intimate clearly what type of refund you are claiming or want to claim from ESIC ?
2. For claiming any benefit from ESIC, the appropriate Branch Office of ESIC to which you are attached is the appropriate office which can decide as to what type of benefits are admissible to any insured person or his dependents. HR department of any unit is not a relevant office for the same. It will be more better, if you take up the matter with your appropriate branch office of ESIC.
