Your wife covered under ESI (ie, salary less than 15k), you can approach your nearest ESI branch office for getting the benefits like, medical, salary during the eligibale maternity period. If she has drawn above than cieling wage, employer duty to paid leave for 12 weeks, if deny you can approach labour department.

It is employers responsibility to cover the employee under ESIC and furnish the card.

Yes but i suggest go to the labour commissioner and file a complent against the company so he can charge the company

It is a violation of women' basics human rights.

Avoid posting photos/names/email id/phone numbers/addresses etc etc or attaching any document containing photos/names/email id/phone numbers/addresses etc etc and erase photos/names/email id/phone numbers/addresses etc etc while sending any documents to anyone, anywhere except your own very able senior LOCAL counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in such/civil matters and having successful track record in handling such matters thru courts of law and with concerned authorities …

 

The very purpose of asking you to send a written communication, without any written demand by employer or IT’s attorney’s in say HR is transfer the entire onus and liability on employee.

 

Then you have expressed your need of LOP and loan installment and HR person is inclined to exploit your need.

It is upto you to handle the matter with your on skills or to succumb to pressure tactics.
