Dear Sri. Vinay Kumar, When the member is on maternity leave, you are not paying any salary for that period, how you will deduct PF & ESI? You should not deduct any statutory dues. D.D.Narasimhan

I think the question is related to Maternity Benefit Payment. The ESI, EPF, P. Tax, etc., are required to be deducted from the maternity benefit, i.e., salary/wages payable for 81 days, or one month extra, whatever it may be.
If the concerned staff have taken more leave than prescribed by law and if it is without pay, then obviously statutory deductions have not been applied and are not applicable.

Maternity Leave Salary Payment for Women Under ESI
How are you going to pay maternity leave salary to women who are covered under ESI? You need to obtain a leave certificate from the employee, which should be provided by the ESI doctor.
In this regard, you cannot pay a salary for the time not worked. If the salary is not paid, the question of deduction does not arise.

There are two aspects we need to focus on:
1) If the employee is covered under ESI (i.e., her gross salary is less than Rs. 15,000/-), then she is eligible to claim wages/salary from ESI as per statutory norms.
2) If the employee is not covered under ESI (i.e., her overall gross salary is greater than Rs. 15,000/-), then it is the responsibility of the company to pay wages/salary.
Note: However, if the salary is processed, then her statutory deductions need to be automatically deducted.
Kindly correct me if I am wrong.
