A. Yes. According to Central Civil Service Rules formulated in accordance with the Maternity Benefits Act, 1961 the female Government employees are entitled to maternity leave for a period of 135 days from the date of its commencement (in Punjab and Haryana women are entitled to maternity leave for 180 days). The Supreme Court recently in Municipal Corporation o/Delhi case (JT 2000 (3) SC 13), gave directions to the Government to extend these benefits also to women employees working on daily wages (muster roll).
