Yes, she will continue to get the benefit from the ESIC till her benefit period ends. If the benefit period ends before the maternity leave ends, then she will have to produce proof of employment. Obviously, if in the new employment, she is covered under ESI, then there is no issue because she will be then be an insured employee under ESI. But without marking "left" under the previous employment how is it going to register under new employment is an issue. And, ethically, joining a new organisation while being employed in an organisation is a bad practice and no employer should entertain such joining also.
