It has been eighty days now as per the amended MB Act 1961. The position from 1989 is as follows:
"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 80 [eighty days] in the twelve months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery."
