I am working as an HR Consultant with one of the IT companies in Gurgaon. I want to know the eligibility for maternity leave for female employees because, as per the Maternity Benefit Act of 1961, a female employee is eligible if she has worked at least 160 days in the year preceding the application for maternity leave. However, according to the Haryana Maternity Benefit Rules of 1967, a female employee is eligible if she has worked at least 80 days instead of 160 days. It is mandatory for employers to follow these regulations.
Kindly assist me in making the appropriate decision for my client.

Dear Pratibha, This is to clarify that The Haryana Maternity Rules, 1967 do not provide any details on eligibility. Section 5(2) of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 provides eligibility conditions for claiming maternity benefits. Therefore, please refer to this section for your query.
