My sister has gone on maternity leave on 11th November 2019 for 6 months as she is covered under labour law so she has received a 6-month salary from ESI. So I would like to know what is the taxability of the amount received from ESIC

Total Amount received: 82950

Leave started: 11th November 2019

So taxable amount till 31st March 2020
