Hi,

It is very much true that an employee should provide proper medical proof for Medical Termination of Pregnancy to be eligible for leave as per the MB Act. However, after a personal inquiry, if you find the case to be genuine, you may process the leave as per the MB Act on humanitarian grounds. Submission of medical documents is a requirement of the Act, but regardless of whether medical proof is available or not, the physical pain remains the same. Hence, the employee's request may be considered favorably.
