Hi,
I have bee working in this Private Sector company, In Noida from almost 3 Years, In October - 2014, I got pragnent and went on Maternity leaves from May 2015, I went into the C-section and had to extend my Maternity leaves for a month more.
Now my company has wrapped up there Noida office and moved their assetes to corporate office in mumbai and on the leave extension mail they has asked me to resume office in Mumbai onlyafter my leave expries. Which is not possible for me in current Situation hass my husband also has his settled business in NCR.
Now the Issue is that,
1) company has not paid the full amount of my salary during the pregnancy leaves.
2) as per the internal company policy they will pay remaining amount once i resume office, now in Mumbai: and as stated above it is not possible for me.
So my query is.
a) Are the Maternity benefits act 1961 implies to Private sector comapnies also, or its for PSUs only.
b) If the Law is same for both PSU and Private sector, does the Maternity benefit act 1961 overrule the internal company policy.
Please suggest, what should be my course of Action.
