I'm working as contractor in a Singapore based MNC. The offer letter I have is from Singapore and the salary mentioned in the contract is in INR. I'm working as a contractor from India. They dont provide form 16 or PF benefits. My employer is saying that I'm not eligible for maternity benefit because I'm in India and the offer letter is from Singapore. I would like to know, if I'm eligible for maternity benefits. NOTE: The Company has a presence in India and the offer letter says its a Subsidiary of the parent company which has presence in many countries including India and all the contractors follow India holiday calendar.
