Hi I am working with a private ltd. company. I am expecting and due in mid October 2013. We do not have any maternity policy mentioned in our hr policy of the company. When enquired at our HO at Ahmedabad they have informed that I can avail continuous 84 days of leave benefit (6 weeks Paid leave (Basic Pay) before delivery of Child and 6 weeks after delivery of Child.) They have also mentioned that I would need to continue my services in the Company after 84 days of Maternity leave
This company doesn’t have any benefits, salary always comes in late, (end of the next month) and its 6 days working plus it is quite far for me to travel, after delivery I would find it very difficult. I was wondering if I could take my maternity benefit and then put in my resignation since have worked here for about a year now. I had the following queries
1) Would it be unlawful for me to put in my resignation after my maternity leave period?
2) Or would it be better to put in my resignation a mon

This will be governed by Maternity Benefit Act 1961. You may extend your leave if required.

Dear Melrosa,
If you put your rsignation after availing maternity leaves, it would not be unlawful.
But ethically if you think resigning after availing maternity benefits (including cash benefit) is proper then you should resign.
