In actual, I am working in a Japanese company and I want to avail Maternity Leave. Request you to support me in understanding when I can ask for Maternity Leave.
I asked my HR about the pay during Maternity Leave, and she mentioned that 6 months of basic pay will be provided. I am curious to know if it is true that during Maternity Leave, the pay given to the employee is based on the basic salary or gross CTC. I have been on the company payroll for almost 2 years.
She mentioned that Yamaha and Honda Company have the same rule, but I am not convinced.

In this case, you have to pay the basic salary. CTC is a much broader term than the actual salary received; it is the cost borne by the unit and includes many factors that are not part of the monthly salary. Therefore, such extra factors can be excluded.

Basic HRA is definitely included, while Fuel/Vehicle Maintenance and Sodexo Coupons/Vouchers are excluded. Regarding Medical and Special Allowance, are they regular payments or reimbursements? For the computation of the amount, refer to Nathrao Sir's post.

Dear Sir,
One of the employees who has been covered by ESI since 2015 does not want to claim maternity benefits from ESI as she has medical insurance through her husband. Does the employer have to pay her salary for 26 weeks?
Please advise.

If the employee is covered under the ESI Scheme, the employer does not have to incur liability for maternity benefit.
