Maternity leave act amended from 3 months to 6 month?

Dear all, I wanted to know about maternity leave changes. I m working in private ltd company and I m 9 month pregnant. I heard that maternity leave act amended from 3 months to 6 month. Can anyone help me out to know about that act?

Dear member, so far as I understand, no such amendment has so far taken place. The proposal, it is reported, is still at discussion stage with the Government. Under the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, the maximum duration of maternity leave is still twelve weeks + one month ( incase of illness arising out of pregnancy) + medical bonus.

Dear Member,
No any amendment yet. This proposal is under discussion.

Sir, online link of the proposals in the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 as published in the Economic Times is mentioned as follows for kind information of members of this forum: -
Women may get maternity leave for 26 weeks; Bandaru Dattatreya may table bill today - The Economic Times

Dear Sameeta,
The Women and Child developement ministry has written to Labour Minstry to increase the leave period for Maternity. Still it is not approved if the GO has been passed by Labour ministry i will be come into force.
Thanks,
Ignatius
