Tamil Nadu issues a change to maternity leave rules for women government employees. The state provides 365 days of maternity leave for employees who give birth to their third child.
According to reporting, the adjustment sets a one-year entitlement for eligible employees on the birth of the third child. One outlet also notes that under the earlier framework, married women government employees with fewer than two surviving children were already eligible for 365 days of maternity leave. The current update therefore extends similar maternity leave duration to a third child within the state government workforce.
The coverage focuses on the duration and eligibility shift tied to having a third child, rather than detailing implementation steps or enforcement timelines. No other major policy changes beyond the maternity leave extension are described in the provided summaries.
