Yes, it is illegal for an employer to terminate you during pregnancy in India. The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 protects pregnant women from dismissal. You could seek compensation including back wages, maternity leave benefits, and damages for wrongful termination.

As a science teacher with a disability, I was employed at a university college in Haryana. The acting principal subjected me to harassment and threatened to terminate my services. Despite reporting this to the Vice Chancellor, he did not intervene. After just four months, the acting principal recommended my termination during probation, which the VC approved without following proper procedure. University rules state only the Syndicate can terminate a probationer’s services, yet the VC got the Syndicate to approve my dismissal after the fact. Are there any legal precedents where a probationer’s services were reinstated after such an unjust termination?
