: Women government employees in the state who had given birth to twins during their first delivery will not be denied maternity leave for the second pregnancy, a government order has said.


On Wednesday, the personnel and administrative reforms department issued an order that said, “Instances have come to the notice that some women government employees were denied maternity leave for the second delivery since they have two surviving children already because of twin births during their first delivery and also favourable orders are obtained from the courts in this regard.”

It also refers to the order issued by the department in November 2016, when the government enhanced maternity leave from 180 days to 270 days for married women government employees with less than two surviving children. The government, “after careful consideration”, has decided to sanction maternity leave for women employees for their second delivery, it said.

The order said amendments to fundamental rules will be made to grant maternity leave for one more delivery to women employees with less than two children, and to those who have given birth to twins in their first delivery.
