Dear Anshu,
Medical bonus is not specifically defined under Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 but keeping in view section 8 of this Act it may be stated to the amount paid to the eligible woman employee if no pre-natal confinement & post – natal care is provided by the employer free of charge. At this point of time we are required to pay a sum of Rs. 3500/- as medical bonus along with 2nd installment of the maternity benefit.
Opinion submitted as per MB Act, 1961 & Haryana Maternity Benefit Rules, 1967.

Dear Sir,
Thanks for your reply. what is the meaning of "if no pre-natal confinement & post – natal care is provided by the employer free of charge.". In my previous company employee who went on maternity leave used to get Rs. 1000/- as medical bonus which is not happening in my current company. Is there any legal issue involved on not giving medical bonus.

Dear Anshu,
In the beginning this amount of medical bonus was Rs. 250/- & thereafter it was enhanced time & again by the Govt. Before Aug, 2011 it was Rs.1000/-. As far as involvement of legal issue is concerned it is clarified that it is a violation of one of the provisions of this Act (section 8).
