I have a Cousin working as professor in one of the reputed institution. She recently adopted a 3 month baby girl. Is she entitled for Maternity Leave, the benefits received by a Biological mother when she gives birth to her child. My understanding is that both Central and state Governments have made provision for the leave in such situations.
The adoption is completely legal and she has all necessary documents. If the organisations says no maternity leave as they have no such provisions, kindly suggest other alternatives.
Require urgent replies please.
Thank you in advance.
