Legally, an employee cannot be asked to return the salary paid for the maternity leave days if she resigns after availing the benefits. Whatever is published on the official website of the company or written in the HR Manual of the company cannot be accepted because it is against the law.
When I say legally you cannot be asked to return the money, I would extend it by saying that morally we should not resign after availing the maternity benefits. This will send a message that if all women do this, it will even lead to a reduction in the employability of women.
