Maternity Benefit Amendment Act, 2017 - PDF Download

Finally Maternity Benefit Amendment Bill, 2016 has been assented by our honorable President and it becomes the Maternity Benefit Amendment Act, 2017.
However effective date is yet to be declared by Central Govt.

Until the effective date is not published we will follow the ESIC act for Maternity leave?

Sumtro
You follow either ESI or MB Act ( as existed prior to amendment) till the amendment comes to effect.

Logically amendment is effective the day when President signs on it unless it is specifically mentioned.
