As per the Maternity Act, if the ESIC Act is applicable, the Maternity Act is not applicable. If a company has more than 10 employees and ESIC registration but since there are no eligible employees as per the ESIC Act (employees with wages more than Rs. 21000), is the Maternity Act applicable or not?

Dear friend,
When certain employment benefits of the same or similar nature are available under two separate enactments applicable to the same establishment, each one's applicability becomes exclusive based only on the eligibility of the employee seeking the benefit.
Therefore, for whatever reason, if an employee is beyond the coverage of the ESI Act, 1948, she would be entitled to benefits under the MB Act, 1961 if she is otherwise eligible when the Act is applicable to the establishment.

The MB Act 1961 benefits are carried over to the ESI Act 1948 for the eligible women employees. So when ESI Act is not applicable, automatically the MB Act provisions become applicable. In ESI, the benefits are borne by the ESI Corporation, and in the MB Act, the employer is responsible.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply is [B]incorrect[/B]. The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 and the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948 are two separate legislations. Even if the ESIC Act is not applicable due to wage criteria, the Maternity Benefit Act provisions are still applicable to eligible women employees. Reference: Maternity Benefit Act, 1961
