Query On Maternity Act Pdf Download

I am working in a hospital where it is a policy that to avail maternity leave it is required to complete one year in the organisation. and an employee who was pregnant but did not complete one year is on leave without pay for 84 days because as per the company policy she cannot avail maternity leave.
Is this policy legally correct? Also tell me that if it is wrong and is challenged in court then what punishment can the employer get?

Dear
Your hospital policy does not seems to be in line of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961. Mr.Lokesh have given you the details on this Act. For Gurgaon area the law enforcing officer is Welfare Officer (Woman), Sector 15A, opp. Telephone Exchange,Faridabad whose mobile numbers are 9911168009. You may contact her for redressal of the grievance of that employee for taking maternity benefit from the hospital management.

Shrikanth ,
Can you please guide me on this. I joined an ITES firm in April 2010 and availed maternity leave from Feb 2011. I need to report back to work from May 8th. However will not be able to rejoin as my son is not keeping well. Kindly advice if my maternity benefits i.e. salary paid for 3 months will have to be paid back. Also I am not in position to serve the notice period due to my new born's health. Kindly advice.
