According to SBI's new guideline, 3 months pregnant woman 'unfit' for the job, DCW notice

Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) has issued notice to State Bank of India regarding their new guidelines for pregnant women. State Bank of India (SBI) has changed the recruitment rules for pregnant women candidates. According to the new rules, a woman candidate who is more than three months pregnant in the new recruitment will be considered temporarily ineligible.

State Bank of India has issued guidelines to bar pregnant women more than 3 months from joining service and termed them as 'temporarily ineligible'. It is both discriminatory and illegal. We have issued a notice to them demanding that this anti-women rule be withdrawn.

In a notice tweeted by Maliwal, the Delhi Commission for Women said that SBI, in a circular dated December 31, barred those women who are more than three months pregnant despite being selected through due process.

According to SBI's latest guideline published on December 31- if the pregnancy is more than three months, she will be considered temporarily ineligible and she can be allowed to attend the child within four months after the birth.
