Hi
We have a concept of maternity leave.
there is no law for grant of paternity leave in indian labour laws.

Depends on the company rules, if they have scheme / system of for such leaves.

Paternity Leave does exist in Govt and private establishments.

However in case of a private company Shall be governed by the enactments/rules that govern the service conditions of employees working in establishment e.g;

If the establishment is Shop/Commercial: Shops & Establishments Act

If the establishment is Industrial: Factory Act

Any establishment can offer superior benefits as per negotiated settlement with employees, standing orders but not inferior.

If Paternity leave is made part of leave policy/rules then normally it is not to be refused.

However you may go thru the language pertaining to Paternity leave in leave policy.

Where did U get the concept of paternity leave? Can U differentiate between paternity and maternity? Do U know why maternity leave is given to women?
