Dear Rashmi
-None of the company can enforce a current employee to resign from employment service while on maternity benefit (leave).
-terminating an employee from employment service while on maternity benefit (leave) is void. Also cannot cancel in the mid while being on maternity leave.
-Maximum 90 days which shall be determined as 3 months.
-Granting beyond 90 days leave is upto the discretion of company, however even if granted, such leaves days beyond 3 months will not come under maternity benefit.
-On maternity benefit application, the org should address within 48 hrs. Make the application through a registered post attaching acknowledge card, will be best evidence in future.
-None of the company shall employ an employee who is 6 months pregnant, who will prevail maternity benefit within 6 months.

First of all let the forum know whether your friend/the lady is covered under ESI, if so the director does not have to worry at all for Maternity Benefit, because ESI will take care of the Benefit. If the said Lady is not covered under ESI then also legally the employer cannot force her to resign as such she can sue against the company. With regards to joining any other company and availing Maternity Benefit within 6 months cannot be denied, if the MB criteria is fulfilled.

Dear Rashmi
-the lady found to be recently pregnant cannot be forced to resign as she vl avail MB.
-your org. director may think it proactive, but its inhumanity & capitalist atrocity.
-Forcing a pregnant women creates mental agony is a sueable.
-advice your director to have courtesy

Since your company is into distribution of Software and the No. of employees is 10, your company does not fall under the criteria of ESIC ACT
