Consider the following pairs matching the nature/scope of leave types available to female employees under Indian labour law with their correct characterisation:

Pairs

1. Maternity leave under the Maternity Benefit (Amendment) Act, 2017 — A statutory right of up to 26 weeks (180 days) of paid leave, zealously protected by law and not a concession extended by the employer
2. Extraordinary leave — Leave granted at the employer's discretion beyond earned leave entitlements, typically without pay, and forming no part of the statutory maternity protection framework
3. Earned leave (privilege leave) — Leave accrued through service rendered, drawn from the employee's own leave account and distinct from any statutory maternity entitlement
