As per the Act, a woman shall be entitled for maternity leave if she has actually worked for not less than 80 days in the 12 months immediately precedding the date of her expected delivsery.
Hence she need not work for 12 months. The 12 months period should be worked out backwards from the expected date of delivery. In other words if a woman with 7 months pregnancy joins an organisation and after working for 80 days, applies for maternity leave, she should be granted the leave,otherwise you will be violating the Act.
