A.Dear Madam,
While I am sympathise with your plight I m to inform you that transfer, promotion, demotion etc is known as normal inciedence of employment and termed as prerogative of the management/employer.

Under Sec.5 of Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 every women emloyee is entitled for maternity leave during her pregancy up to period of 6 months once she applied for the same to her employer following the provision of Sec.6 of the Act and eligible for payment of salary for the said period as per her entitlement.

However, under Sec.4 (3) of the said Act no pregnent woman shall, on a request made by her u/s.6 of the Act, be required by her employer to do any work which is of an arduous nature or which involves long hours of standing or which in any way is likely to interfere with her pregnancy or the normal development of the foetus, or is likely to cause her miscarriage or otherwise to adversely affect her health.

Referring the above provision of governing law you may approach your employer to consider your appeal and placed to any nearest Branch which is however solely lies on the employers prerogative and discreation. Being an employee of PSB your humble prayer may or might be allowed to relieve you from your plight for the time being considering the adverse affect on the preganancy as stated above.
