Pregnancy Discrimination - Workplace Discrimination

Dear All,
Is there any law in india for pregnancy discrimination at workplace? as i am highly harassed since they have come to know about my pregnancy.

Harassing the pregnant women in work place is against the basic tenets of MB Act 1961. Read MB Act for more details.

Poorva,
This is unacceptable from a responsible employer. There are laws protecting discrimination at workplace. You being pregnant, there will be a soft point in the eyes of law.
I would advice you take a break from work , as mental torture and harassment at this stage of your life will affect not only you but the baby also.
Jus think your current employer is not lucky enough to have your services.
All the best !!

Eventhough it is not applicable to India, you can take guidance from those thread, what are the previleges you can claim & facilities you can demand. You can get some clues from these thread because these are already entered into India in the name of Liberalisation, Privatisation, Globalisation.
However, our country will always follow the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 only and not others.
