Dear All,
I would like to know whether the Maternity Benefits are applicable to private organizations as per the Act 1961.
Is it mandatory for a Pvt org to provide maternity benefits to the female employees? as the Act talks only about the applicability to Govt orgs.
Looking forward for your replies on the same.

Dear Dayanand,
By Private orgs here I mean commercial establishment. Talking with regards to the Software IT company. However the company is not registered under the Bombay Shops and Establishment Act as it falls under the Gram Panchayat but is located in the SEZ (Special Economic Zone) area.

Hi, The law is clear in this matter. Irrespective of the jurisdiction, maternity benefit law is applicable even to the IT/ ITES/ BPO/ KPO units at SEZ. kind regards Dayanand
