What is Maternity Benefit Act 1961: Key Case Laws about?
The document discusses amendments made to the Maternity Benefit Act of 1961 in India. It was amended in 2017 to increase the period of paid maternity leave from 12 to 26 weeks for all women employed in establishments. However, this increased leave does not apply to women who already have two or more surviving children, who are entitled to 12 weeks of leave. The objective of the amendment is to ensure proper maternal and child care during early childhood, which is important for child growth and development.
