It is good that Maternity Benefits Act 1961 - provides 26 weeks holiday for a employed women but it fail to ensure that women on maternity leave is paid her salary on monthly basis specially for women who are covered under ESIC Act.
Women employee covered under ESIC Act are not paid for 26 weeks /till she report to duty and raise her claim to ESIC.
It is very painful to discuss that women under maternity leave is not paid a single rupee during this critical period of maternity leave.
The act must ensure regular/monthly payments to women employee who is on maternity leave under ESI Act.
