Hi,
You wrote -If the leaves were sanctioned by the authorities in a proper manner then she can file a case against the company and there are HUndred percent chances to win the case as it is Illegal to not accept a female employee in company once she is back from her Maternity leaves.

Dear Mr.Manohar Kadam,
A small correction in your statement, Maternity benefit act does not indicate that the women should be married to claim Maternity benefit. So any woman who has fulfilled the eligibility criteria can claim Maternity benefit.

Hi Friends,
What if the woman has not worked for 12 months, but have completed 80 days =
and what if the woman has not worked for 12 months and also have not complted 80 days.
80 days is 2 months and 20 days. Suppose we recruit an woman employee and she has not completed even 80 days and claims for MB can we give her the benefits. As per my understanding NO. This means that employer must be careful at the time of appointing female employee's
But please discuss about the case in which woman works for 80 days but not completed 12 months.

I am in agreement with the statement of Mr. Mukesh Tank. However to supplement his views, it is for your information that the said provision of even the minimum limit of 80 days is not applicable on a woman who has immigrated into the State of Assam and was pregnant at the time of the immigration.

Provided that the qualifying period of [eighty days]2 aforesaid shall not apply to a woman who has immigrated into the State of Assam and was pregnant at the time of the immigration.
