If you are registered under Factories Act, you need to give only earned Leave. However, if you have extended CL and SL, you can not withdraw now.
Rules pertaining to EL shall be eqaual or better than what is provided in factories Act
1. Earned Leave
Factories Act provides for one day for every 20 days of work and more or less one will get between 12 days and 15 days
in a year. In terms of number, you have nothing to change. However, unutilised EL shall be allowed to be carried forward to
next year, Sch accumulation is allowed for three years leave . You can refer to Factories Act for more detailed calculation
Management can not draft a policy stating that one should exaust leave in the same year.
Encashment of leave is not provided for in Factories Act for the employees who are in service. Only if an employee resigns or
retires, balance unavailed leave shall be encashed. If you draft your own encashment policy, Factories Act does not prohibit
as long as you provide for enacshment at the time of resignation and retirement as well.
2. Casual Levae
there is no provision in Factories Act regarding CL. It also can not be carried forward and encashed
3. Sick Leave
There is no provision under Factories Act for SL This also need not be encased or allowed to be accumulated.However, allowing
accumulation will help employees.

Dear Kaushambi,
Words given by Mr. T.Sivasankaran are correct. because EL can carry forward and if your company will make policy for encash you can.but no provision in factory act.
as a Sick Leave if your company make policy for carry forward then you can but it will not encashed.
CL employee should avail in this year only it will not either carry forward or encash.

Hello Sir,
The above suggestions will help me in formulating new policies for leaves. Just want to ask about Maternity leave. Should I include it in my policy making process, if yes then for how many days? Please suggest on this. I am planning to make the policy easier. If I'll remove SL only instead of EL and CL or I'll go with EL only, will there any problem? Whatever I am planning, it should be under Factories Act. Please suggest.
Right now we are having EL-15, CL-7, SL-7.
Thanks,

EL/Pl/Al is compulsory to give and Maternity leaves are as per
maternity Act, means it can not be deducted from
PL/El/AL balance.
U can make maternity leaves policy as per its act to avail
maternity leaves for employees not under ESIC Act.where 15000p.m. gross is limit and ESIC employee gets maternity benefits from and under esic act.

Dear Kaushambi,
The EL in most of the organisations are allowed to carry forward to next year though there is a limit of accumulation , for e.g if the EL is 22 and the accumulation limit is 90 days , means when the employee accumulated over and above 90 say 105 , he/she can go for encashment of 10 ELs or 15 ELs based on co. policy, then out of 100 , if encashment is 10 balance 90 will be kept in his/her account ,rest 5 will lapse. SL can also be carried forward but CL get lapse at the end of year.
