Sorry, I mistook the information by oversight as if you were already termimated. Do submit the form forthwith as suggested by Mr. Rao. Ensure whether the MB Act, 1961 is applicable to your establishment. It is better for you not to worry about the job or the inimical attitude of your manager during the crucial stage of motherhood. Life does not end up with a job.
