Pl refer maternity act 1961.And you are eligible for maternity benefits. Every female is eligible for this benefits who has worked in any organization 80 days in prior to delivery.
Labour Law Index
The law is very clear in Maternity Benefit Act.
your organization is covered within this act i section 2(1), if there are more then 10 employee. Under section 5(2), women must have worked for a period of 80 days in 12 months immediately before expected date of delivery. Now you need not work there for 12 months but you need to work there for 80 days in 12 months preceding delivery.

Hello Mam,
As per Maternity Benefit Act 1961,on account of pregancy a woman can get maternity benefit of 12weeks of this,six weeks can be taken prior to the date of delivery of chld and six weeks immediately following that date.
To be entitled to maternity leave, a woman must have worked for not less than 80days in the twelve months immediately preceding the day of her expected delivery.only working days are taken in to account.
To avail of the six weeks leave before expected delivert a notice must be given in writing stating the date of absence from work and also certificate of pregnancy

yes, you are eligible
your HR either does not know the rules or is trying to make a fool of you.
