Can anyone help me on whether the new Maternity Act is in effect? If yes, then from when? And is there any circular stating the same? I am aware of one circular that was released in August 2016. PFA.
Awaiting reply.

Now that parliament has passed the Maternity Act amendment bill, it'll go to the President for his approval, and then it will have to be published in the Official Gazette of the Government, mentioning the date from which these amendments are applicable. Only after this, everyone will come to know the details. Let us wait for some more time. Right now, old provisions are in vogue.

Dear Friends,
The Maternity Benefit Amendment Bill 2016 was amended on 28.03.2017, and I have queries regarding its effective date of implementation under the new provisions. Please provide feedback based on the scenarios uploaded in the Excel sheet.
This Act may be referred to as the Maternity Benefit (Amendment) Act, 2017. It will come into effect on a date specified by the Central Government through notification in the Official Gazette. Different dates may be designated for various provisions of this Act. Any mention of the commencement of this Act in a provision should be understood as the enforcement of that specific provision.

The government has to again notify in the Gazette about the date of implementation of the amendment. Only then will the amendment take effect from that date.

Hello Everyone,
A lot of discussions are going around about the amendment of 26 weeks Maternity Leave, but is it in effect now? Also, I have a query about the payment during the maternity leave period. Should the employee on maternity leave be paid the Basic amount of their salary or the Gross salary? Please clarify this.

Dear Mr. N. Nataraajahan,
The notification has already been gazetted on 28.03.2017. If it was intended to announce the date of implementation separately, why has the Government not clarified in this notification? It's really confusing for implementers.
Please clarify.

It can be safely taken now that the act has been amended. Sooner or later, the date from which these amended provisions take effect will be notified. I think employers may voluntarily amend their own applicable rules now, maybe with a rider.
