Pankaj,
For deciding the eligibility for maternity benefit 80 days should be counted backwards from the expected date of delivery. It is not necessary that she should work 80 days in a calendar year or financial year. Therefore, if she has worked for 80 days immediately preceding the expected date of delivery she will be entitled to maternity benefits.
