Dear Ms Chandasahu
The following conditions must be fulfilled for you to get the maternity benefit under the Maternity Benefit Act.
1.You should not be an "insured employee" under the ESI Act.
2.The Maternity Benefit Act should be applicable to the establishment in which you are employed.
3.You should have worked for 80 days in the establishment of your employer in the twelve months preceding the date of expected delivery. You have not given the exact date on which you joined the services of the present employer and the expected of delivery. Therefore I am not able to compute whether you would have worked for 80 days on the expected day of delivery.
With regards

I think some companies do have the policy that the employee must have completed minimum 1 yr with the company for aviling the mat. leaves.

Dear Ms Pritha Pandey
The Company's policy cannot be contrary to any law of the land including labour laws. Therefore no company can have a policy that the employee should have put in one year of service to get the maternity benefit.

Dear Mr. Harikrishnan,
What can we do(the employee) if the company is not willing to give a female employee who has worked over one & half years and she is not even covered under the ESIC Act.
Is there any written rule to give the maternity benefit or any regulation passed by the law?
Regards,
Prabha
