Provisions with respect to maternity leave for contractual consultants
14-Jun-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
Hello Sir, I work with ICICI Securities as a Retainer (Contractual) since 2015. Currently I am 4 months pregnant and when I asked my reporting head about Maternity Leave, I was informed that Maternity Leave benefits are not applicable for contractual consultants. Can someone help me confirm whether what I am being informed is genuine? Looking forward to the assistance.
Maternity leave is a right of every woman. I will also have to check the contract. however, in case the employer removes you and dont give you benefits then to file case in court is the only option. you may contact me for that

Normally consultants are not.
But you are saying contractual Consultant,
then letter of appointment or contact agreement is. required to be read.
Only after reading it , confirm reply can be given.

With new amendments made to the Maternity Benefits Act, 1961, the paid maternity leave has been extended from 12 weeks to 26 weeks for women working in the private sector. you are entitled to have leave if you fall under the definition of employee and for that your retainer-ship conditions have to be seen. ask them to inform you in writing.
I am of personal opinion that you must get benefit.
