In India, the Maternity Benefit Act 1961 mandates that organizations with over 50 employees must provide a crèche facility for their women employees. Exceptions to this law are generally not permissible, as it is a statutory requirement aimed at supporting working mothers. All companies, irrespective of their registration under the Factory Act or Shops and Establishments Act, are obligated to comply with this provision. If an organization denies providing the crèche facility, it could be held liable for non-compliance with the law, leading to potential legal repercussions and penalties. It is crucial for organizations to adhere to labor laws concerning maternity benefits to ensure a supportive and legally compliant work environment for their employees.
