miscarriage itself defines the termination of pregnancy, so both are not available at any single time slot simultaneously.

Sir, the 6 weeks of maternity leave granted on account of a miscarriage is in addition to the standard 26 weeks. This means that if a woman experiences a terminated pregnancy, she can avail of 6 weeks of leave. If she conceives again, can she avail the full 26 weeks of maternity leave, or will it be restricted to 20 weeks?

Dear Abhierna,
Leave for miscarriage is not over and above 26 weeks. Miscarriage entitles one to a leave of 6 weeks along with maternity benefits immediately following the day of maternity.
For the next pregnancy, she can avail 26 weeks of maternity leave for a maximum of 2 surviving children.

Miscarriage is a separate event that is neither grouped nor included in maternity benefits. The common factor is pregnancy only. Therefore, miscarriage should be treated as any other medical leave, within the limit of 2 children, and it does not affect maternity benefits. However, both cannot be taken simultaneously. For example, if a woman claims a miscarriage during the 11th week of her maternity leave, it would create difficulties for both the employer and the employee.
Miscarriages typically happen in the early weeks of pregnancy. If someone claims a miscarriage after being granted maternity leave, it would fall under maternity leave only, not as a separate miscarriage leave since maternity leave commences after 6 months from the start of pregnancy.
