Dear All
As per the Circular No. 78/2013/EPS(EC Guidelines for Delhi Election) below are the guidelines we need to follow:
1. Only those employees who are entitled to vote can avail paid leave on the day of poll.
2. We can make it mandatory for all the employees who would like to avail leave on account of election to submit a copy of their Voter ID Card to their superior at least a day before. In case of failure of submission of the relevant document (“Voter ID Card”) it would be considered as leave without pay.
3. It is to be noted, that the Circular is not applicable up on any voter whose absence may cause danger or substantial loss to the Company.
4. Daily wage/casual workers are also entitled for a paid holiday.

I understand what Mr. A. S. Sharma Ji has mentioned. In cases where hourly payments are made, the 2/3 hours concession may not be possible. However, there are many private organizations in Mumbai that offer 2/3 hours concessions as an alternative to a weekly off, and that is also permissible by law. This is also the reality.

In view of the Assembly elections, we have to take cognizance of the Election Commission's directive under Section 135B of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, which provides for the grant of a paid holiday to the employees belonging to the state where elections are taking place on the day of the poll. All employees and contractual workers must be given a paid holiday and are free to exercise their franchise.

Hi again,
I am attaching the instructions issued by the Election Commission - No. 78/2013/EPS dated 24 October 2013 regarding Paid Holiday for elections being held in State Assemblies. These are the current instructions and are quite clear regarding their intent and expectation.
Pon1965 is correct in observing that the granting of a paid holiday across NCR is unlikely. However, to ensure that no eligible voter is deprived of their right to cast their vote, if there are voters working in NCR (outside Delhi) whose office is open and working on 4th December, paid leave could be granted to such employees on a case-by-case basis, provided they are able to show proof of having cast their vote, i.e., by showing the black ink mark of having cast their vote. This is not an easy task, but it is an option that could be explored.
