Ms Nusra

why gratuity? are u thinking of leaving the job?
you are entitled to the maternity leave as per the law.

Dear Madam,
In order to protect the rights of women employees during pregnancy and after childbirth, Indian law makes it mandatory for most establishments to offer maternity benefits to women employees. Maternity benefit in India is mainly governed by the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 that applies to all shops and establishments with 10 or more employees.
The Maternity Benefit Act originally provided maternity benefit of 12 weeks, out of which up to six weeks could be claimed before delivery.
The law also allows employers to permit women employees to work from home in addition to the maternity benefit period if the nature of work allows that.
The law was further amended in 2017 to make it mandatory for establishments with more than 50 workers to establish creches. Mothers are entitled to visit the creches up to four times a day and to two nursing breaks per day in addition to any other breaks that are available as a matter of course, until the child attains the age of 15 months.

If they are not terminated you the you can claim it
