@Dr
as being a beneficiary of the entitlement, you can not sign your own medical documents, but another doctor has to sign your OPD documents, this is much aware to you, simply take a screenshot of the OPD card where the expected date is mentioned, and forward the same to medical superintendent (as mentioned by you in last reply) with a copy of the previous mail, also forward the same to HR
HR department follows own set of documentation, which is employee based, they are not supposed to seek the patient records from their own hospital even.
the application may be correct but without supporting medical document they are silent, and even after your submission of document, they have to arrange alternate for your department for leave period, which can be resolved by a short discussion,

Dear Dr Madam and colleagues,
The lady doctor is narrating sequence of events relating to communication to the hospital authorities in bits and pieces. That is leading to unnecessary assumptions, crisscross and haywire views .
Apparently, she seems to have followed the procedure of communication regarding her pregnancy and request to proceeding on ML. The hospital authorities are bound to grant her ML as per the Act.
Have patience till the communication is received or else take up once again with the decision takers and prepare to proceed on ML with due intimation and supporting documents.
It is a case of procedural snag and will eventually get sorted out . Therefore, no need to get panicked.

The doctor employee has already informed HR one month back about her intention for
applying maternity leave and currently she has mailed the authorities again the fact that she is proceeding on leave, with relevant prescription and reports attaching therewith.
That will be enough for the time being. As an employee, you must have received approval from authority for proceeding on leave. Have you received it, doctor?

No sir... That is exactly my concern... I have informed repeatedly... But have recieved no communication from their side... No conformation that they have recieved my request... And no approval or denial... In such circumstances if i proceed with leave the hospital system will automatically mark me absent and leave without pay will be deducted...

Dear Drfanconi,
As stated by one of the senior members earlier, you have been giving information in bits and pieces. Now you say that "I have informed repeatedly... But have recieved no communication from their side..." The expectation from the person of your stature is to provide the complete information in the chronological order. If you had done that the thread would not have protracted.
Anyway, I recommend submitting the application to the highest authority of your hospital. Explain in sequence the communication done in the past. Please submit in person the hard copy of the application to the secretary of the Director or Managing Director of the hospital. Do not send it through email. Obtain the signature of the recipient on the duplicate copy. Wait for 1-2 days and if no reply is received then ask for the personal interview with the highest authority.
Any time if the Director/MD calls you personally then carry with you the copy of the application and also the leave application, duly filled. Ask him whether he/she would like to approve the leave application or some other senior authority would do it. If the latter then ensure that you carry a letter addressed to that authority on the approval.
While submitting the application, keep the HR department in the loop by marking CC of the applications to them.
Thanks,

Ya Madam you have every right to get maternity benefit leave with salaries as per labour acts. So you can lodge a complaint letter before The Authority court Asst. Commissioner of labour of the Area.
They will issue a notice to both parties. Soon after receiving the notice your management will pay ur benefits. After receiving the salaries you need not go for joint meeting in labouroffice. Send a withdrawal letter if you are duly paid.
Pls don't believe any kind of Assurances frm management. Only after receiving full amounts.completely.
