According to Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, employees are entitled to 12 casual leaves, with no provision for Sick leaves. However, in our organization, they have combined CL and SL into a total of 6 leaves. Is it mandatory for employers to adhere to this requirement or does it remain at the discretion of the company?

This 12 days' leave is for any sickness also. Some other states' law, like Kerala Shops....Act, provides for 12 days CL apart from 12 days Sick leave, the Karnataka Act provides for 12 days leave only (in addition to Earned leave of one day for every 20 days worked in the preceding year). The casual leave of 12 days is for sickness and other personal emergencies. You cannot make it 6 days. It is mandatory.
