Kindly refer to the Payment of Maternity Benefits Act. When her due date of delivery is 23/09/18 but her leave has already commenced from 07/03/18, i.e., more than 6 months prior to the expected date of delivery. This needs to be looked into and reconciled with the provisions of the amended Act of 2017.

Sir,

One of our employees is at par for exemption of ESI deduction AS PER DETAILS.
SALARY = 18200, HRA = 1800, AND IN APRIL HIS INCREMENT IS DUE TO RELEASE.
BUT THE MANAGEMENT HAS DECIDED TO INCREASE IN JULY (FROM 01.04.2018).

IN APRIL SALARY, WE HAVE DEDUCTED ESI AND A NEW CONTRIBUTION PERIOD HAS STARTED (APRIL TO SEPTEMBER). IN JULY, WHEN HE IS EXEMPTED FROM ESI, CAN WE STOP THE DEDUCTION OF ESI OR WILL WE HAVE TO COMPLETE THE CONTRIBUTION PERIOD?

PLEASE HELP.

THANK YOU.

Dear Daawat ji & Govind ji,

With due respect to you, I would like to correct you as follows: She is eligible for ML for 26 weeks and not 24. Further, the actual provision for the eligibility of MB is that women should work in the establishment for a period of not less than eighty days in the twelve months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery.
