I have been working with an organisation for more than 6 years. Recently, I applied for a maternity leave but my boss denied my application. He said that the company is not generating sufficient revenue so they can not pay me 6 months maternity leave. I have informed him immediately in first month, but that time he said he understands the condition and I continued working and now when its time for me to go on leave he denied to pay me for ML. What should I do?

You should complain under labour law because according to labour laws it is mandatory for companies to give maternity leaves.
