Hi Ruchi
As per Sec.(5) of the Maternity Benefit Act 1961,You become eligible for maternity leave with wages if you put in 80 days of service with the current employer during the 12 month period before the expected date of delivery, and I assume that you had put in the required number of days by Dec.2011.Thus they cannot deny the benfit.

Hi!
Thanks a lot for your reply!! Wanted to check couple of more points with you before going back to my employers
1.Is there any clause that there should be any minimum no of people working in the company ,then only the maternity law is applicable?
2.Also it's a company with 4 partners does dat effect the maternity act by any means...
Thanks to let me know the same.

Query No.(1)- If your establishment is a factory it should employ minimum 10 workers if it runs with power and minimum 20 workers without power.
If it is a shop or establishmnet covered under the Shops Act, minimum nummber of persons employed in such shop or establishment shall be ten or more.
query No.(2) -It does not affect.

Hi!
It's a garment buying house which has 4 partners/directors ,5 employees on roll and 2 free lancers ,h/ever the mother company has 25 + employees..They receive USD remittance for the business and all are taxes are deducted and deposited by them.
Also note in the appointment letter I received from them it states that i need to follow service rules of the mother company.

from the brief details furnished by you, the fact that you have to abide by the service rules of the parent company, then the garment buying house and the parent company can be clubbed together for counting total number of employeesand thus coming under the purview of the maternity benfit Act
