your spouse is entailed to maternity leave of 26 weeks as per maternity leave amendment act
2) Honble Supreme Court in Municipal Corporation of Delhi v. Female Workers (Muster Roll) and Another, 2000 SCC (L&S) 331 has held that as per the provisions of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, women engaged even on casual basis or on muster roll basis on daily wages are entitled to get the benefit of Maternity Leave at par with the regular employees,
She can go for maternity leave and take all benefits under the new amendment. Otherwise she needs to move under writ petition to the high court

Seniority dose not effect by unpaid leave, rest depends on service rule if leave period dose not counts under continuous service.
Sick leave less than 3 months in a year.
you can apply for leave without pay for period of one year
12 weeks to 26 weeks is the limit prescribed.
Dear Sir,
The maximum period of continuous leave of absence allowed is 5 years, after which the person is deemed to have resigned. To my knowledge there is no specific limit for leave on medical grounds during the entire service. However, frequent spells of medical leave may invite adverse attention of the Government to consider compulsorily retiring the employee on medical grounds.
It's total of 26 weeks. She can take 8 weeks prior and rest post delivery. It will not affect seniority
Women employees are eligible for maternity leaves of 180 days for maximum two surviving children. Maternity leaves can be combined with any other kind of leaves including CCL and can be taken without medical certificate up to one year in continuation. These leaves cannot be debited against leave account and the period of leave will be included in service period for increment and pension. The women employee will be given full pay during the leave period. But one should be careful not to join office back during maternity leave period as this leave can be taken in one spell at a stretch. If woman employee joins back before completing her maternity leave, it automatically gets cancelled.
You can take leave without pay for maximum period of 12 weeks in 12 months.
It will not effect her seniority.
She can avail maternity leave for 6 months with pay, but that should start before delivery and to stretch over beyond delivery also.
Without pay leave can depend on the medical certificate for a period of 3 months.
It may be around 3 to months depending upon the medical certificate produced
