GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Human Resources / HR Management
English term or phrase: MDLB
The document I am currently translating is a list of error messages in a software for HR management. It comes from India and it has obviously been translated into English first.

The part where the acronym in question appears reads:

"The leave from date should be one day greater than leave to date of MDLA leave.

Please apply for MDLB before applying for this Leave type."

I could find MDLA, which stands for Medical Day Leave of Absence.

My translation into Spanish was:

La fecha de inicio de la licencia debe ser un día después de la fecha de terminación de la Licencia de un Día por Razones Médicas.

I was unable to find what MDLB stands for even though I have searched in every possible website related to HR management in India.

So, I would very much appreciate it if any Indian colleague can help me to make out this acronym.

Thanks in advance!

Medical Day Leave "Benefit
Explanation:
Agree with Katsy (see Disc). "Benefit" is most likely here. Anyway, the "MDL" part is very unlikely to change to anything else.
