How much maternity leave do you get in India?
My wife and I are expecting our first child in Feb ’08. She is planning to take time off from work after her delivery, to take care of the baby. We are wondering how much leave she will be allowed.
As far as we know, as per Indian labour laws, she is allowed 3 months paid leave, with a possible 1 month extension of unpaid leave. But we heard that the central government is looking to change that to 6 months. Is that true? Where can we get correct and exact news on this?

Please have her consult her manager and human resources…
