Hi Satyasikha,
If an employee extends her leave granted to her as maternity leave upto the specified eligible period, the leave she is extending will be granted to her if she has other leave in credit such as earned leave, sick leave as the case may be. In the absence of leave in credit, her extended period of leave would be treated as Extra Ordinary Leave in which she would not be eligible for salary for the period she remains on leave.

Satya, If the Maternity leave extended beyond permissble period considered 'loss of pay' as per practice. However, treating as paid leave is - discretion of the company Shameem

Thanks for sharing views and valuable discussions.
I would like to get clarified following points :
1. Whether there is any Salary ceiling for entitlement like ESIC. EPF, Gratuity, Bonus ?
2. If Female covered under ESI act, whether it is mandatory to pay 84 days salary by employer ?
3. If ESI act applicable to establishment, but female not following under Act since her salary exceeds limit prescribed
under ESI act, in this case whether she is entitle for such benefit from Employer ?
4. Whether Maternity benefit calculation should be on only Basic+DA ? or including allowances whatever
she earn regularly. for example : HRA, CONVEYANCE, BUSINESS PROMOTION ALL; LTA. FOOD ALL; EDUCATION, Washing
ALL. ETC.
Certain allowances are related to Actual Presence, work & / or performance like conveyance, Business Promotion,
Food, washing LTA. Hence this query.
5. When 12 weeks benefit is due to female ? Monthly, One time before or after 84 days ?
6. Can female apply for leave very early than the 6weeks before expected delivery ? Whether employer can reject
leave for such period ? If no then In that case what would be the method of payment or applicability of the act ?
7. It is happening frequently that Female takes leave / absents as mentioned in point no.3, and after taking benefit, they
did not join again. Whether there is any solution ?
Participation and discussions on these points are well come.

Satyanarayan,
I don't know what your query has to do with maternity leave?!
But the answer to your question, as I read it:
1. Yes you can withdraw your PF even now.
2. You have to have a savings account in a nationalised bank. Fill up your withdrawl form and have it signed by the owner or authorised signatory of your erstwhile company and deposit it in the EPF office where the deposits have been made. You will get the amount after 2-6 months.
3. Remember that from this year you do not get interest on the deposited amount if no deposit has been made in the account for the last three years.
Good luck.
