Hi Ishita,
All BPOs/KPOs follow the Leave Rules of the Shop & Establishment Act policy, which remains the same across the industry. PL-15, CL-7, and SL-7.
Hope this will help you out a little bit. I was trying to locate it, but unfortunately, I didn't find it.
Thanks,

The normal working hours will be 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. You have to report and register your attendance by 9:30 a.m. Grace time will be of 15 minutes. If an employee has not registered the attendance within the stipulated time frame and did not inform the Administration/Office-in-Charge about his/her late arrival (due to official duty, etc.), a "late mark" will be put on the day against his/her name. Five "late marks" will be considered as one-day leave and the same will be adjusted against the pay or leave balance of the employee in the coming month. Absence from the office during working hours arising due to official duty should be supported by consent from the Immediate Manager/Team Leader/Project Head. However, you are free to balance your timings in consultation with and approval of your team leader to work in the most productive and justified manner.
