Ritesh Maity (Labour Law Advocate) 12 April 2017
Since your wife was working for more than 2 years and there are 300+ employees, your wife is entitled to maternity benefit act. You have to apply for the benefit under prescribed form with proper acknowledgment. The company may deny anything verbally, but it will be not possible to deny maternity benefit in writing.
Maternity Benefit act does not differ from company to company. First send the form under registered post and if they still deny then you may lodge a complaint before the labour office.
