You may also be asked for joining after delivery, but donot worry about the benefits. You can avail all of them in both the circumstances.

Once you are selected that means you can avail the medical facility like leave in the case of pregnancy.

They cannot deny you all the benefits under Maternity act.

Hi,

Please join the job after the medical verification. The maternity benefits are allowed only of joining the job not before the joining.

The pregnancy is just 6 week so please join now and work till your medical conditions allows.

Hi,

Regarding your first query, 6 weeks pregnancy should not be any problem with the selection procedure. Any medical certification is basic requirement in service sector which is not concerned with the pregnancy.

Your getting maternity benefits depends solely on the terms and conditions of your employment contract and it defers depending on rules and specifications made by the sector providing the job. Before signing the employment contract, you can verify these terms and conditions.

They will accommodate you and extend your joining date on account of your pregnancy.

You will have to move a written request for the aforesaid purposes.

You will be entitled to the maternity benefits etc., in accordance with the applicable rules.

Hello,

You being pregnant does not make any difference to your selection.

The selection can not be differed for the reason that you are pregnant.

You will be given immediate joining and later on you can claim all the maternity benefits.

Hello, pregnancy wouldn't be an issue for govt job. You would be eligible for leave of 26 weeks of maternity leave only if you work for 80 days in that organization. So considering you are 6 weeks preganant, you should have worked minimum 80 working days only then you will be eligible for maternity leave as per maternity benefits act, 1961. You can take maximum 8 weeks maternity leave before expected date of delivery and rest post delivery, so it as per your wish whether you want to take less then 8 weeks of leave before expected date of delivery. No body can refuse to hire you on ground of pregnancy subject to your fitness as per your medical report. Moreover please request your HR of company to share Maternity benefits policy, they may give you more maternity leave then provided in Maternity benefits Act, 1961.

Thanks
