existing guidelines, hereby order that married women employees working on

outsourcing or on contract basis shall be eligible for 60 (Sixty) days of paid

Maternity Leave for the first two deliveries. This condition is relaxed in cases of employees having less than two surviving children.

    The paid maternity leave shall be equivalent to the existing remuneration

drawn by the above women employees. The statutory benefits such as EPF and ESI and other recoveries wherever admissible shall also be admissible by

treating them as On Duty.
