In India, there is no legislation governing paternity leave as applicable to private companies. There are a few firms offering paternity leave as part of their employee-friendly policies, but this is solely a matter of company policy and is not governed by any law.

Dear Pari,
Kindly go through the Maternity Benefit Act. Your doubts will be cleared regarding maternity leave for women employees and paternity leave for male employees. In most companies, they grant 5-7 days of leave to male employees. I strongly suggest that you review the Maternity Benefit Act.
