dear richa,
first you ask your boss to give you in writing that , he wants resignation because of your pregnancy. don't take anything verbally.
As per maternity benefit act , 1961, A woman is entitled to claim or receivece benefit under sub section(1) of section 5 from her employer , only if she has worked in his establishment for not less than 80 days. She must have worked for not less than 80 days in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of her expected date of delivery.
A woman may give a notice of her pregnancy to her employer in accordance with Sec 6. But if she does not give notice as provided under sec. 6 , she make a request to her employer under sub section 3 of section 4. On request made by the pregnant employed woman under sec4(3) , the employer shall not require such woman to do any work
a) which involves long hours of standing
b) which is of an arduous nature
c) which is anyway is likely to interfere with her pregnancy , or the normal development of the foetus
d) which is likely to cause her miscarriage
e) which otherwise adversely affects her health.
So you don't worry about that, if he gives in writing to resign , you can go to labour court and file a case against your employer, because sec12(1) , no employer can dismiss or terminate any pregnant employee during her pregnancy.
Thanks
