Contractual employees in central government organizations in India are generally not entitled to maternity leave under the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961. While appointment letters should clearly outline all leave benefits, including any applicable maternity leave provisions, it’s crucial to check specific contractual terms and applicable government guidelines for clarification.
