The amendments of 2017 to the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, does not specifically state of or about any penalties, for non-compliance of the “creche facility”. However, as per section 21 sub-clause (2), the Act does provide for penalties, if any employer contravenes to the provisions or the rules of the Act, either with imprisonment which may extend to one year, or with a fine which may extend to five thousand rupees, or with both.
