According to the law, a female employee is eleigible for 90 days of maternity leave(84 working days). Any leave balance is credited to her account over and above the maternity leave.
A New mother avails the Earned Leave or Privilege Leave for extension of her leave upon completion of maternity leave. Under normal circumstances, most organisations accept this extension.
