Q1- Is it legal in India to ask questions to female employees “Are you pregnant” ?
Q2- Are the female candidates expected to tell/disclose themselves to new to-be employer that she is pregnant (without new employer asking this question) ?

Q5: What medical proof can be asked to find out the exact date of pregnancy ? (i.e. doctor certificate)
Q6- If a female becomes pregnant on Feb 1 with employer X (previous employer) and join us on March 31. Is she eligible for paid leaves from us (i.e. she conceived while she was not working for us)
