Hi Ruchi
As per Sec.(5) of the Maternity Benefit Act 1961,You become eligible for maternity leave with wages if you put in 80 days of service with the current employer during the 12 month period before the expected date of delivery, and I assume that you had put in the required number of days by Dec.2011.Thus they cannot deny the benfit.

from the brief details furnished by you, the fact that you have to abide by the service rules of the parent company, then the garment buying house and the parent company can be clubbed together for counting total number of employeesand thus coming under the purview of the maternity benfit Act
