Dear Anil,
A couple of questions:
1. As it's only been 2 months since she joined, did she declare her pregnancy at the time of joining?
2. How many weeks pregnant is she? Has she submitted any applications seeking Maternity Benefits?
FYI, any employee who has served not less than 80 days in an organization is eligible to receive maternity benefits as mentioned in the act.

Dear RR Kapoor,
Section 5.2 of the Maternity Benefit (MB) Act states the following:
"No woman shall be entitled to maternity benefit unless she has actually worked in an establishment of the employer from whom she claims maternity benefit, for a period of not less than eighty days in the twelve months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery."
