I have been working with an organization for more than 6 years. Recently, I applied for a maternity leave but my boss denied my application. He said that the company is not generating sufficient revenue so they cannot pay me 6 months' maternity leave. I informed him immediately in the first month, but at that time, he said he understood the condition, and I continued working. Now, when it's time for me to go on leave, he denied paying me for maternity leave. What should I do?

You should complain under labour law because according to labour laws it is mandatory for companies to give maternity leaves.

The Maternity Benefit Act lays down certain minimum conditions for maternity benefits. This Act is applicable to all organizations that employ 10 or more persons. It is available for women working in both the private sector and the public sector.
The right to payment of maternity benefit is a crucial aspect. Every woman is entitled to, and her employer is liable for, the payment of maternity benefit at the rate of the average daily wage for the period of her actual absence. This period includes the time immediately preceding the day of her delivery, the actual day of her delivery, and any immediate post-delivery period.
Please cross-check and submit a written claim for maternity benefits. Also, ensure that other employees have not already received maternity benefits earlier.
Thank you.
