Hi SnehalJoshi, I am residing in Munich and my situation is exactly same as yours regarding elterngeld and kindergeld. I have a blue card and has been working in Munich for 2.5 years. My husband has a German Permanent residence. We are expecting our baby in November and i am planning to go India by August which includes my maternity leaves and holidays. I will be returning 6 months after the delivery. Did you manage to get the elterngeld and kindergeld from beginning itself ? Please tell me how did you make it ?
