Maternity benefit rules protect pregnant workers, regulate paid leave, nursing breaks, medical bonus, and service security during absence. Maternity benefit rules prohibit employment of a woman during the six weeks after delivery, miscarriage or medical termination of pregnancy, and restrict arduous work during the specified pre-delivery period. Eligible women are entitled to maternity benefit at the prescribed wage rate, with advance and post-delivery payment procedures, a medical bonus where free care is not provided, leave with wages for miscarriage or pregnancy-related illness, nursing breaks after resuming duty, and protection against discharge or adverse service action during maternity-related absence.
