 Kya hai Prasooti labh ? (What is maternity benefit Act, 1961 ?)
Maternity benefir act, 1961 ke section 3(j) ke anuar, Prasooti pra-suvvidha labh ek aisa labh hai, ji ki niyojak (Employer) ke dwara ek mahila karmchari ko uske prasooti (pregnancy-time) ke time uplabdh karai jaati hai. Yadi us mahila ki delivery hoti hai aur us time vah mahila leave par jaati hai, to aise  mein niyojak dwara us mahila ko 2 week's ka vetan (salary) bhi diya jayega.
Yah salary us mahila ko isi adhiniyam ki dhara 5 ke anusar uske 3 month's pahle  arjit vetan ka ausat vetan hoga.

Jaise hum man lete hai , Yadi prati-din ka ausat lagane par 1 rs se adhk ata hai, to usi dr par 12 week's ka vetan milega. Kisi bhi  dasha mien 1 rs se kam ka majdori nahi milegi. Yadi niyojak sambandhit mahila ko prasav (delivery) se pahle ya prasav ke time koi bhi muft medical suvidha ka prabandh nahi karata hai, to aise mein us niyojak dwara us pregnant mahila ko 1000 rs medical bonus ke roop mein dena hoga.

 Prasooti Pra-suvidha Adhinyam labh ,1961 ke anusar  yah joyna grabh-vati mahilao ke liye banai gayi hai, yah mahila karmchariyo ka adhikar hai, is adhikar pr niyojak dwara kisi bhi prakar se koi rok nahi lagai ja sakti aur in labho mein kisi bhi prakar ki koi bhi kami nahi ki ja sakti hai.

1. Har ek niyojak pregnant mahila ko prasav (delivery) ke din se pahle 6 week's ki leave  dega, jo har ek pregnant mahila karmchari ka adhikar hai.
2. IS parkar ki leave aur prarthna patr dene par niyojak 6 week's ka bhi bhugtan (payment) 3 mahine ki ausat vetan  dhyan mein rakh kar  advance mein de sakega.
