In order to be eligible for benefits guaranteed under the Act, the woman employee must have worked for at least 80 days during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of her expected date of delivery of child in that particular establishment.

Previously under Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, women employees were entitled to a fully-paid maternity leave of absence from work for 12 weeks. However, after the implementation of Maternity Benefits (Amendments) Act, 2017, the period of fully paid leave was increased to 26 weeks. This allowed new mothers to heal better and catch up on some sleep as well as rest before joining back to their work. 

 it is absolutely illegal to dismiss or discharge an employee any time during her pregnancy, where the employee would have been eligible to maternity benefits or medical bonus guaranteed under the Act. 

Any employee, whether contractual, or on probation, can avail maternity benefit, provided she has worked in the establishment for 80 days in the 12 months preceding the date of delivery. However, sadly, these provisions of the law do not cover the unorganised sector, which employs a large number of women.

Every shop or establishment, in which ten or more persons are employed, comes under the purview of law to grant a paid maternity leave.

You may approach the law enforcing agency i.e. the area labour office of your area in case the employer fails to comply.
