Hi Satyasikha,
If an employee extends her leave granted to her as maternity leave upto the specified eligible period, the leave she is extending will be granted to her if she has other leave in credit such as earned leave, sick leave as the case may be. In the absence of leave in credit, her extended period of leave would be treated as Extra Ordinary Leave in which she would not be eligible for salary for the period she remains on leave.
