Dear HR Fraternity,
It is to inform you that Maternity Benefit Amendment Bill, 2016 has been assented by our honorable President and it becomes the Maternity Benefit Amendment Act, 2017.
However effective date is yet to be declared by Central Govt.
Hope so it will help for you all....

Shweta,
Though the Maternity Benefit (Amendment) Act has been notified by the govt. the effective date has not been mentioned. Therefore no one can answer your query authoritatively. I hope Once the effective date is notified by the govt. there may be clarity on your type of beneficiaries. We still await relevant instructions.
