Yes! As per Section 9 of the MB Act, in case of miscarriage or medical termination of pregnancy, a woman shall, on production of such proof as may be prescribed, be entitled to leave with wages at the rate of maternity benefit for a period of six weeks immediately following the day of her miscarriage or, as the case may be, her medical termination of pregnancy.
So, on providing proof of such medical termination of pregnancy, the woman shall be entitled to 6 weeks of leave with wages.

First, check whether the termination of pregnancy is on medical grounds or not. Since the termination of pregnancy is after 8 weeks, it must be on medical grounds and not abortion. Hence, as mentioned by Mr. Akhil Kumar, she is entitled to maternity leave as per the Act.
