Hi,
I am surprised to know that people are taking the profession of HR even doesn't having basic knowledge requirements such that leave rules /ESI & EPF rules.How they passed out their course ?.
In this electronic world, people doen't want to study and simply put questions to site.
questions related to bigger issues like strike / lockout /retrenchment / union negotiations will be much useful.Because these issues need more study and comments.
Rules relagted to leave:
All organisations has to file a list of holidays of next calander year before 31st Oct.The minimum of days should be 9 days including compulsorry national holidays- republic day, may day,independance day,Gandhi jayanthi.The balance (9-4=5) 5days may be for festivals of the region the eatablishmnet situated.If any four compulsorry holidays falls on sunday,that day is to be compensated.
Other leaves like CL & sick leave will be as per company policy.
Further,All employees other than those under apprenticeship act, will be entitled one day earned leave for 20 days(including the above 9 days).

Dear Manishgupta1981,
Be informed that under Industries&establishmnet -Natioanl&Festval Act 1981, every unit registered with either Factories Act or Shop and establishmnet act has to declare 9 days as paid holidays for all employees irrespetcive of their joing or service.
Out of these 9 days, 4 days(jan26,May1,Aug15 and Oct2) is comopulsory and no choice for it.The remaining 5 days, each unit can decide on their own depend on unit's location or region and community class of staff strength.It is fully under the unit's right.
Again if any of these compulsory 4 days falls on Sunday, one more day can be declared as paid holiday on unit 's choice.
Further, there is no compulsory for any unit to declare /grand SL/CL.It is the unit's decesion to have policy for these sick or casul leave.Even Unit can deney both SL & CL.
No act is forcing the establishment to declare CL or SL.
But all registered unit should give one day leave to all confirmed worker or staff (but most unit will include the staff under probation also)for every 20 days worked and named as earned leave or previleage leave.For counting 20 days, the above nine days will be considered as present day.This earned leave is only confirmed employee and it is management 's decesion to cover all staff including probation or trainee.
In India, our leave rules are not in favor of employee and ofcourse it all old dated policy of the Govt.No Govt is willing to sit and review these and our great representative of people are not bother to raise these issued in Pariliment.
