As per G.O. Ms. No. 61 Personnel and Administrative Reforms (FR III) Department dated 16.06.2011, THE WOMEN GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WHO WERE ON MATERNITY LEAVE, PRIOR TO THE ISSUE OF THE ABOVE SAID GOVERNMENT ORDER NO. 51 P & A. R DATED 16.05.2011, AND CONTINUING THAT LEAVE ON OR AFTER 15.05.2011 ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR EXTENDING THEIR MATERNITY LEAVE FOR SIX MONTHS.
2. The leave can be availed from the pre confinement rest to post confinement recuperation at the option of the woman Government servant
3. The Women Government employees who have not completed the period of probation are also eligible. But the earned leave at their credit as on the date of going on leave will be debited first and the remaining days will be treated as Maternity Leave. For example if a Government servant is having 11 days of Earned Leave at her credit as on the date in which she goes on maternity leave, 11 days of Earned Leave and 169 days of Maternity leave may be sanctioned to her.
The Women Government Employee appointed under Rule 10 (a) (i) are eligible for Maternity Leave only after completion of period of one year without any break.
Regular Government staff nurse are also eligible for maternity Leave and eligible for salary
