Implimentation? Yes all these recommendations can be implimented if we have guts.
Dear Sir,
My wife is a serving lady officer with 05 months of my residual service. She is on the family way with due date in Nov 10. Can I apply for the maternity leave right now as I am left with more leave then the service?
As Per the maternity act 1961 a lady employee can only apply for maternity leave 6 weeks prior and 6 weeks after the delivery. what are the present conditions in wake of the enhanced quantum of leave?
Your guidance shall be of immense value to us and also other lady officers.
Thanks.
Maj Mayank
