Further details are required to provide any specific legal advice. Regardless, I assume you are asking if you are eligible for maternity benefits and salary. If so, this would be the laws relating to it. The maternity leave given to women comes under the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 and one condition is that the woman should have worked with her employer for at least 80 days in the 12 months preceding the date of her expected delivery.
So, in your case, the given details are not sufficient to determine how many days you have worked before claiming the maternity leave. If you have worked for the required period, you would be able to claim your salary in full. A legal notice can be sent and on default of payment even after that, a case can be filed for compensation if the requirements are met.
