I work in one of the big startups in Bangalore & I am 4th month pregnant. I have been asked by my employer to submit my resignation. They told me that my position doesn’t exist in the company anymore. They literally tortured me whole day in a conference room to resign. I am resisting to resign. I have not done any mis-conduct or they have not informed me about any performance related issue. My Manager says that this is not related to performance but it is happening due to cost cutting. I had informed my manager orally about my pregnancy last month itself.
My question is that - Can a company fire a pregnant lady under the new Maternity Benefit law if there is no mis-conduct or performance issue? And Can I challenge it in Labor court ?
Thanks
