Hi Buddy,
1. You can inform your employer about your pregnancy as soon as you conceived.
2. Six weeks before the expected date of delivery
3. Six week before the deliver and six week after the deliver if there is pregnancy related illness you can avail one more month leave.
4. Salary at the rate of the your average daily wage for the period of your actual absence immediately preceding and including the day of delivery and for the six weeks immediately following that day.
What you have heard (26 Week) is right however it is still in discussion stage and it is not enacted as law hence the existing 12 weeks only apply for you.
With Regards

Thanks...
My company told me that your salary is more than 15 k so ESI will not apply to you. We can only avail leave for 12 weeks but no salary in this case.
What should I do?
Also right now I am 8 weeks pregnant and still more than 20 weeks are remaining for going on leaves so can I expect 26 weeks leave rule will apply for me

Hi,
You are entitle to leave with wages for the entire 12 weeks if your employer informs you that there is no salary for the maternity leave period than ask them to give it in witting than you can take this matter to Ass.Commissioner of Labour.
Sorry buddy, I cannot predict it, if lawmakers passed the amendment in the coming budget session of parliament than there will be chance other wise existing law only apply for you.
