Will I get Elterngeld during Mutterschaftsurlaub
Hi,
I am an Indian woman working in a German IT company for 1.5 years. In a few months, I will be in "Mutterschutz". After this period is over, I will be on "Mutterschaftsurlaub" for a year.
I want to know if there is any rule or restriction due to which my application for Elterngeld can be rejected. If I understand correctly, Elterngeld is paid by the government, is equal to 67% of my current salary and I will get it after I go on Mutterschafts-urlaub?
When should I apply for it? What are the documents required from my side?
Will I stop getting this money if I go for a vacation to India with my baby in between?
I have these doubts because I read on this website that for many foreigners, the application for this benefit was simply rejected by ABH.

You will get Elterngeld, once your Muttershutzgeld is over. You will receive 67% of your total income in last 12months before your child comes.
You will continue to receive this elterngeld, irrespective either you live here in Germany or in India during this 12month time. Normally you have to submit papers within 2months after child come for the money for elterngeld.

Thanks Rambalram. That sounds encouraging.
However, there are several places where I read that this benefit is denied if your Aufenthaltstitel is § 18 AufenthG.
My legal German is not very good so I am not sure what § 1 Berechtigte ,(7) in this link means http://www.elterng...elterngeldgesetz.html
Will I be eligible if I have:
Aufenthaltserlaubnis gem. § 18 AufenthG i.V.m. §27 Nr. 1 BeschV ?
