<script async="" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Paid maternity leave in India is currently for a maximum of three months or 12 weeks.
This is below the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Maternity Protection Convention which mandates a minimum of 14 weeks of maternity benefit to women.
If the cabinet approves the proposal, India will be among the 40 countries that have extended their paid maternity leaves over a span of 18 weeks.
Companies that have already amended their paid maternity leave policy even before the cabinet approval are Urban Ladder, Flipkart, Accenture, Godrej and HUL.
