Hi
As per my knowledge, yes you are totally eligible for availing the Maternity leave under maternity benfit act 1961. THe act applies to every women employed directly or by way of contractors as well.
However, there are below mentioned points which you need to ponder on:
1. please ensure that you have worked with the employer for a continuous period of 80 days in past 12 months.
2. Ensure that your salary is more than 10000 pm. if less than this you can avail the maternity benefit only under employee state insurance act 1948.
hope this helps you.
