Dear Jayashree, Maternity Benefit act gives protection to every pregnant women employed by the organisations. Thus you cannot terminate an pregnant employee.
The question of Termination of other Employees and 1 Female Employee who is Pregnant does not arise at all.As per your information, you are closing your unit for Economically non viability reasons. Further, you have just mentioned that your Female Employee is pregnant. Whether she is under Maternity Leave? It would be most appropriate to pay Closure Compensation as provided under Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 to all Employees including to Female Employee.
With regard to Payment of maternity benefit to Female Employee, it depends from when she will be on Maternity leave? what will be the date of Closure of your unit etc
