Hi, Maternity Benefit is to be treated as paid leave. So, PF is to be deducted from the employee's salary and paid along with the employer's contribution as usual.

Sir, could you please share with me a formal request letter template along with a doctor's certificate so that we can guide our employee to submit the same before taking the maternity leave benefit?
