By rule of law min 3 months Maternity is guaranteed, I dont understand how any company can give 1 month leave.! Infact paternity leave is a concern, i think 1 month paternity leave should also be considered.

Yes to my knowledge no company gives maternity leave for less than 3 months. If at all there are a few companies, which do so it should be taken care of & one can move out of such company if at all, the concerned couple is really interested in starting a family. All these are lame excuses. Attrition is nothing new to IT industry that too when you have a genuine reason you can justify after a gap.
Yes agreed there are certain commitments that are based on the total income of the family so leaving the job to raise the family may not be justified but while jumping from one job to other just to get a better salary should not be done rather such aspects should also be taken care of when one plans to raise a family as well.

You are right.As far as i heard and knew,Maternity leave is 3 months with salary. This is basic labour law in india.Rediff as always did not get facts correct. Coming to raising a family,you need to sacrifice if you need money.Basically indian society mostly has house wife and working husband.Things worked fantastically in our previous generation not only because of low life style but also due to less material pleasure(We don't have many electrical gadgets,lavish life style and etc).But because of this booming economy,These problems cropped up.

Once paternity leave is considered, again after nine month some people will prepare for paternity leave forgetting tv adds.

There is a law in India for manadatory 3 months maternity leave. No company worth its salt can do this stupidity. I am sure Rediff needs better researchers.
Read this for better understanding
Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 says that Google it to read the details. I hope Rediff is better informed next time. I am not sure why this message was removed for abuse alert
