In A Progressive Move, Maharashtra Women Conductors Will Now Get Paid 9-Month Maternity Leave

The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) will grant an additional paid leave of three months to women conductors during pregnancy, taking the total maternity leave offered to nine months.

The MSRTC said the policy decision to increase the maternity leave was taken after a few incidents of miscarriages were reported among women conductors. The corporation has also decided to offer pregnant women conductors the option of doing desk jobs instead of travelling in buses.
