According to latest rules of Maternity Benefit Act She is entitled to 26 weeks of maternity leave with full pay.. Now she is in employment of Govt organization on contractual basis. So she should apply for maternity leave from her current employer and avail ESIC benefit after 3months.or 3rd trimester.ESIC is only optional.
