Good effort by Mr. opalakrishna. I have some points to note.
Maternity leave can be availed in full (12 weeks) after the delivery also. Only thing is that she cannot take more than 6 weeks leave before the expected date of delivery.
In Maternity Benefit Act, there is provision for 6 weeks leave for miscarriage.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The mention of "muster roll 'a'" is not a common term related to Maternity Leave Policy. Instead, focus on forms like Maternity Benefit Form 1.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The correct eligibility period for maternity leave as per the Maternity Benefit Act is 26 weeks, not 80 or 180 days. Please refer to Section 5 of the Act for accurate information.

  • In order to be eligible for maternity benefits under the Maternity Benefits Act, the woman employee should have worked at least for 80 days during the 12 months immediately preceding the expected date of delivery. If it is written as 180, it is an error.

  • For Government employees the Service Rules of the respective state (Rajastan) and not the Maternity Benefit Act will be applicable. Regards, Madhu.T.K

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The statement is incorrect. The Maternity Benefit Act is applicable to all establishments and overrides state rules for maternity benefits.

  • Dear asnanigee
    When you say "Can I Join at new place of Posting...." it implies "working" on that day,at least; because although in practice a new joinee does no work on the day of joining; however she is definitely treated as "ON DUTY".
    Hence my suggestion is that you avail of the maternity leave benefit in full, without any worry about our job. You are neither being compelled to join, nor you can be compelled to join, the new place of posting immediately. So why the undue rush to join ? In any case the reporting officer will not accept your joining till you complete your maternity leave tenure.
    Your job shall be kept safe at the new place of posting, with the remarks, "On maternity leave".
    Warm regards.
