Hello Everyone,

Please help me out. Is a new employee eligible for maternity leave in Mumbai and Maharashtra? If so, how many days are applicable for her? She is currently in her probation period and has applied for maternity leave. At the time of joining, she did not inform us about this. She has been working for 3 months.

Please provide me with a solution. What should I do?

Thanks,
Ankit Bhosle

The Maternity Benefit (Amendment) Act 2016, passed by the Rajya Sabha in August 2016, has also been passed by the Lok Sabha in March 2017.

Also, the Act further requires an employer to inform a woman worker of her rights under the Act at the time of her appointment. The information must be given in writing and in electronic form (email).

The lady employee is entitled to maternity leave.
