Presently, I'm on maternity leave from March 20th, 2018, and the leave will end in September 2018. I asked my present employer for a work-from-home option starting in October, but they denied my request, stating they cannot accommodate it. Please guide me on the following:
Options for Notice Period During Maternity Leave
1. Can the remaining maternity leave be considered as the notice period?
2. Will my notice period be waived off?
3. Should I ask for my notice period pay because the employer is unable to accommodate my request? I'm planning to resign.
Please note my notice period is two months.

Dear Madam, you are already enjoying maternity benefits, which is your legal right. It is not in good taste to think of leaving just because your employer is unable to allow you to work from home after you rejoin work. There could be genuine reasons for it.
If you have any other good reasons to resign, do so after joining duty and serving two months' notice as required (or pay two months' salary if it is permissible). You must demonstrate a sense of responsibility and gratitude towards the organization for giving you the opportunity to serve and also to make a living out of it during your tenure while leaving.
After enjoying maternity benefits, rejoining, and then leaving for genuine reasons after completion of the notice period would be the most fair act demonstrating the above attitude.
