Maternity Leave

Updated on: October 14, 2026 Sneha Gondhale 1 min read

Maternity leave is the right of every expectant mother to take paid leave from work during pregnancy and after childbirth. In India, maternity leave can last up to 12 weeks, or 84 days, and can be taken both before and after the baby is born.

It is a family-friendly policy that organizations put in place to support women’s health and safety around childbirth.
