Maternity Payment Timing: Monthly Salary or Lump Sum After Leave?

glenn_mobiliti
Hi, I would like to know when the maternity payment should be paid to the employee—every month as salary or in a lump sum after she returns from maternity leave.

She should take the payment for the first six weeks before she goes on leave. She will receive payment for the next six weeks after childbirth.

As per the Maternity Benefit Act of 1961, a beneficiary can receive the payment in advance, but only after the expected delivery date provided by a recognized medical practitioner (Gynecologist).
