Maternity Leave Rules for Women Government Employees
Women employees are eligible for maternity leaves of 180 days for maximum two surviving children. Maternity leaves can be combined with any other kind of leaves including CCL and can be taken without medical certificate up to one year in continuation. These leaves cannot be debited against leave account and the period of leave will be included in service period for increment and pension. The women employee will be given full pay during the leave period. But one should be careful not to join office back during maternity leave period as this leave can be taken in one spell at a stretch. If woman employee joins back before completing her maternity leave, it automatically gets cancelled.
Women employees are entitled for 45 days of leaves in entire service for in case of miscarriage/ abortion whether induced or otherwise but not for threatened abortion. Application needs to be supported by a certificate given by recognized or registered practitioner. This leave is admissible irrespective of number of surviving children.
Reference:
- Discuss all women working problems without fear
- Discuss women harassment issues
- Talk to other colleagues of your company
- Help others who are in distress

what effect if my wife get maternity leave in probation period ?
Sir,
please help me wife is working as aee in andhra state govt. and my doubt is she have 2 year probation period she joined on 04/06/2011 and if we take 6 month maternity leave in that probation period then what will effect on probation period will it extend for 6 month or it will calculated as worked ? please help urgently thanks in advance
The main objective behind
The main objective behind probation period is to give a chance for the worker to prove his talent and the employer a chance to terminate the worker if such person is unable to meet their expectations.
Maternity leave is to secure during maternity it does not involve with probation period.hence your wife should undergo the rest of the probation period as per the rules after she returns from the maternity leave.
She should get maternity
She should get maternity benefit even during probation. Most likely her probation will be increased by the amount of leave taken by her.
Joining Back - Date Calculation
Hi,
My wife is a school teacher in a govt school in delhi, India. She had applied for maternity leave from June 30th (immediately after summer vacations which were from May 15th to Jun 29th).
As per calcution of 180 days, she had to join back school on Dec 26th.
However, the baby arrived 3 weeks earlier on June 14th (while the summer vacations were still on).
Will the joining date change in this case?
Start of maternity leave is
Start of maternity leave is flexible. We've even seen cases where maternity leave applied is after date of delivery. So your wife's joining date should not change. Don't do anything unless somebody in Admin section calls for clarification from her.

Maternity Leave
Sir,
My wife conceived for the third time after claiming her second maternity leave and was due for next year. What kind of leave she will be entitled for the third time. Pls advise.
She can take child care leave
She can take child care leave or her own leaves such as EL , Medical etc. But she will not get Maternity leave.
As far as we're aware she
As far as we're aware she will need to take any other leave for maternity for third child. Maternity leave may not be availed any more when two children are alive.
my wife who has just
My wife who has just completed her study from a medical college in Maharashtra. She has a bond of one year. She has pregnancy of two months. When and for how long she can avail the maternity benefit. will her period be extended while she is on leave or will it be included? suppose she starts in September 2011. Will she complete her bond in Sep 2012 ,in spite of being on maternity leave? Please reply. Thanks
I assume she is doing full
I assume she is doing full time job after her recently finished studies. For availing maternity leave she should have worked for minimum 80 days before maternity leave. So I see no problem for maternity leave.
Regarding extension of probation, it is not covered under maternity leave rules. Most likely it'll be extended by number of days leave availed.
sanction of increment in the time of maternity leave
hi, i am in maternity leave in the time of annual periodical increment. if it sanction from which date i got monetary benefit
during maternity leave , you
during maternity leave , you will not get any increment. When you join back in office, from that day your increment will be effective.for example you were on maternity leave from 1st April to 27 September and your increment date is 1st July but you will get increment from 28 September if you join the office on that day.
hi about maternity act
hi my wife has joined MCGM ( public sector ) job as doctor in june 11, before that she was on adhoc post for 9 month. now she is pregnant. her probation period is of 1 yr. when she is entitled to get maternity leave. do her adhoc post will count ? if not then when at earliest she can get maternity leave benefit?
As per maternity benefit
As per maternity benefit amendment act 1995, Section 3a (w.e.f. 1-2-1996), No woman shall be entitled to maternity benefit unless she has actually worked in an establishment of the employer from whom she claims maternity benefit, for a period of not less than [eighty days] in the twelve months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery.
Maternity benefit act applies to women on probation as well.Even your wife is on probation, she can claim maternity benefits (Maternity leave and maternity bonus if no medical expense is paid by the employer)subjected to fulfilling above condition. So just calculate if above condition is fulfilled, ( if it is just a start of pregnancy, I think this condition will be very well fulfilled by the expected date of delivery). Ad-hoc period should count but in your case 80 working days will be easily met from her new permanent job.
know about maternity leave get started from which date
Dear sir
i want to know about that when can i start the maternity leaves if my delivery date is 16.11.2011.
Mrs. Yamini, As per maternity
Mrs. Yamini,
As per maternity benefit act , you can start your maternity leave , six weeks before your delivery date. If you are in government sector, you can talk to your reporting officer if you want to start early. I had seen 1-2 cases where with the permission of reporting officer woman employee has started maternity leave 2 months before as well . Only minus point is that you will be left with less leaves after the birth of your child that's why most of the women employees prefer to work upto the date of delivery if their health permits. As per amendment in maternity benefit act in 2008 , one month additional leave can be taken for the illness arising out of pregnancy.
If you are in private sector, you can start your leaves six weeks before your delivery date and check your company's HR policy. Talk to HR manager and discuss your problem.
