Hi, I have been working in a well-known company for the past 5 years. During this period, my employer has not provided me with maternity benefits. Now, I am considering leaving this organization. Can I claim maternity benefits?

I joined this organization in 2007. In 2010, I applied for Maternity Leave, and at that time, management informed me that according to company policy, only Leave without pay was granted. Despite wanting to continue with this organization, I accepted the decision without objection. However, after 2 to 3 years, may I now apply for the same?
Thanks.

If you have proof of having applied for Maternity Benefit at the time it was due, you can file your claim again with the management. If management denies, you can approach the appropriate labor law enforcing agencies (ALC - through Labor Union, LEO of the Area) or the labor union to which you are a member. The benefit under the Act is payable, and it is not up to the will and choice of management whether to pay or not.
