Dear Preeti,
For framing leave rules you have to refer to three documents. First is Shops and Establishment Act and rules made therein if you are working in an Office. If you are working in a Factory, it has to be Factories Act.It will tell you about the EL/PL (some people call it EL and some PL).
Second is Standing Orders applicable to your industry.If you do not have Certified Standing Orders, you have to refer to Model Standing Orders. SOs will tell you about CL and/or Sick/Medical Leave.
What is left is the Holidays.Sometimes, SOs refer to Holidays also. If not then every State Govt. comes out with a notification as to the minimum number of Holidays a Pvt. Establishment has to declare.
So now you know about all kinds of leaves and Holidays. Thumb rule is that you can not give less number of leaves or holidays than what is provided in the statute. But you can always give more or same. Decision whether to provide more has to be purely yours. For this better refer to what your neighboring Companies are doing and what your competitors are doing and then decide.

Dear Preeti,
You may not get this information from your CA and I am not aware of any Web Site. But you can buy 'Shops and Commercial Establishments Act' (this is the correct name) from any of the book shops keeping books on Law.

Hi! KKT
I had a word with my C.A, she said me that it is not helpful for creating leave policy as shop and establishment act is related to business and buying of shop or showroom.How it will be useful please tell me or any other idea please suggest.

Dear Preeti,
This is precisely the reason I had told you that CA will not be helpful in this regard.It is just like asking a Civil Engineer about the problem of your Car's engine. If you work in a manufacturing unit where some product is manufactured, Factories Act provides legal guidelines about safety, leaves, weekly offs,shift timings, welfare measures etc.. But if you are working in an Office or a shop the guidelines are provided in 'Shops and Commercial Establishments Act'. This Act is not for buying of shops etc.

Hello Preeti,
What you can do is ->
1. EARNED LEAVE - One day per 30 days worked. That is 12 days in one year. This can be encashed if not availed.
2. CASUAL LEAVE - Five days in one year.
3. HOLIDAYS - You can declare about 8 holidays for major festivals of which 26 Jan and 15 Aug are compulsory. Depending on your staff religious mix, you can select the other 6 holidays.
4. Anyone exceeding the above limit will be termed as extraordinary leave and will not be paid for.
