Amendment in Maternity Benefits Act?

ash.pgdm · #1 13-08-2007, 12:26 PM

Hi All,

Recently, I heard through word of mouth that there has been an amendment in Maternity Benefits Act in terms of the leave period extended to 6 months.

Is this a correct information? I tried to find on some sites, could not get anything relevant.

Please comment..

Regards,
Ashwini Kumar

Dear Ashwini,

There will be not circular received from Labour dept. about amenment in no. of leave. Neither we heard any labour journal.
But recently, the amendment happened in Maternity Bonus. The Bonus amount enhanced from Rs. 250/- to Rs. 1000/-.

Hi Amit

Thanks for sending the amendment.

But it is vague "if no pre-natal confinement and post-natal care is provided by the employer free of charge"
Can you elaborate on this please.

Anuradha

Anuraadhaa,

Post natal care is the special care of the newly born after the birth. If an employer is providing any such facility free of cost then he is not liable to pay Maternity Bonus.

Nisha: Earlier this amount was Rs 250 which is now proposed to be revised to Rs 1000/-. Its just a type of allowance given by the employer to the employee in subject to enable her meet the immediate expenses on the newly born child after birth.
