Hi, one of my friends is 8 weeks pregnant. She is volunteering and planning to go for an abortion due to some issues. Please suggest if she is eligible for maternity leave. If yes, how many days of leave is she eligible for? Please revert at the earliest.

According to Section 9 of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, she is entitled to have leave with wages at the rate of maternity benefit for a period of six weeks immediately following the day of her medical termination of pregnancy.
Hope this is what is required.

For your kind information, MISCARRIAGE is an unfortunate event, whereas ABORTION - TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY, is a fortunate (intentional) event that happens with one's will only. Requesting your good self to use the appropriate word.
