One of my female friends asked me about her situation regarding maternity benefits. Her company did not provide her with any maternity benefits during her maternity period, which has now ended. She works as an account assistant in a textile company with approximately 500 employees.

Dear Patrik, did your friend apply for maternity benefits? Did the employer deny extending the same to your friend's claim? Your friend needs to file a complaint with the labor office to assert her rights under the act.

Year Sir, She had applied and they denied it verbally. There is no written procedure completed to deny her request so she is not having any proofs now for the same.

Maternity Benefits Under the Maternity Benefit Act of 1961
The Maternity Benefit Act of 1961 explicitly states that maternity benefits are a right of women employees, and the employer is obligated to provide them. If a claim for the benefit is refused, as indicated, the claim can be submitted to the Inspector (Labour Officer of the local area), who is then required to take further action.
Thank you.
