Dear Sir/Ma'am
I am confused to see that as per Maternity Benefit Act 1961 (No. 53 of 1961) Clause 5 (2) No woman shall be entitled to maternity benefit unless she has actually worked in an establishment of the employer from whom she claims benefit, for a period of not less than 1*80 days in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery. https://www.ilo.org/dyn/travail/docs...itsact1961.pdf

Maternity Benefit Act 1961 (No. 53 of 1961) Clause 5 (2) No woman shall be entitled to maternity benefit unless she has actually worked in an establishment of the employer from whom she claims benefit, for a period of not less than 160 days in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery.
Please tell me which one is correct or when it was amended.
I have attached both the attachment.

Ma'am,
I also want to know when it was amended and can you provide its notification for the proof. Because even in labour law sites I didn't get any notification regarding the amendment. Please....

Dear Sir,
I got this file and also knew that "The Act was last amended by the Maternity Benefit (Amended) Act, 1988 which came into force from 10th Jan 1989. That the qualifying period of service for the entitlement of Maternity Benefit under the Act has been reduced from 160 days to 80 days of actual work in the preceding twelve months."
I still searching for the notification. Because above mentioned information is not a source. I want to know the source. From where it was taken.

Dear Sir,
Greetings!!!
I have some queries related to maternity benefit acts
* after serving more than 80 days in company, “Provided that the maximum period entitled to maternity benefit by a woman having two or more than two surviving children shall be twelve weeks of which not more than six weeks shall proceed the date of her expected delivery”
My question is for how many times same female employees can take benefits of leaves in case of miscarriage if 4-5-6-7- months is running ? or maternity benefits leave starts only after her 6 months of delivery ?

First of all, for an eligible woman employee, for the first two child birth the maternity leave is 26 weeks. Of this 26 weeks, she can take a maximum of 8 weeks before delivery.
In the case of woman already having two children,the maternity leave is for 12 weeks. Of this 12 weeks, she can take a maximum of 6 weeks before delivery.
The leave for miscarriage is for 6 weeks without any qualification as to number of days working. There is no mention about how many times a woman can take such leave.
