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.

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.
