Dear Ravi,
For claiming maternity benefits, you are required to serve notice under section 6 of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 in the format as prescribed in your State Rules, along with the certificate from the doctor regarding your pregnancy to your employer. The Maternity Benefit Act and Rules do not provide a leave application form as it is sufficient to give notice to the employer.
