Abstract

The Maternity Benefit Act was amended in 2017 to achieve one of the goals of the government of providing a safe environment to women before and after delivery. For the first time the work from home concept was considered here for the maternity benefit but with certain conditions. But every law has certain drawbacks in it. In 2017 when the concept of work from home was included in the act, the act failed to explain about what kind of work can be considered under the work from home concept. The Act gives the complete authority to employers to decide whether work from home benefits should be given to the women employee or not. This was one of the major drawbacks in the amendment of 2017. There are other drawbacks, too, which the researcher is also going to highlight in her study. Here the researcher will elaborately discuss the drawbacks of Maternity Benefit (Amendment) Act, 2017 especially about the provisions of the work from home facility.
