Discussion on ESI maternity benefit
Recently they said its 1 year for 1 child. But as far as I know its 6months for 2 children. According to 1961 Maternity benefit Act, its 6months compulsory leave. Even in private concerns, it should be paid leave for 6 months. For those who come under ESI benefits, either ESI or the company will give leave.

If a person has chronic diseases like Cancer, heart problem, brain tumor he can take treatment in any big hospitals and ESI will reimburse it. This benefit is very useful for a normal poor worker.

They need to spend 2 to 3 lakhs. Recently one retired transport worker had a clot in the brain. He had sever headache. and we took him to corporate hospital. Without opening skull with some latest drilling technique they did a surgery and the operation went for 1 hour. They charged Rs. 6lakh for the operation. He is retired now, so he cannot get ESI benefit. They took loans and managed it. If at all he was in service he should have got ESI benefit.
