Dear myadrenalin,

Generally 7 NFH (National Festival Holidays) 26th January (Republic Day), 15th August (Independance Day) 2nd october (Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti) and four festival holidays like Holi, Diwali, Deshara and any festival which is to be popular in state and also consider any State level National Holiday, like State foundation day etc.
7 CL (Casual Leave), 7 SL (Seak Leave)
According to The Factory Act, 1948, section 79 any worker completed his/her 240 working days in previous year then he/she is entitled for EL (Earn Leave) and calculation is as follow One Day for every 20 days working in case of Adult, One day for every 15 working day in case of Child.
i.e. toal EL in a Year is as under.

No of Days in a Year = 365 Days

No of Sunday in a Year = 52 Days
No of NFH in a Year = 7 Days
No of CL in a Year = 7 Days
No of SL in a Year = 7 Days
Total = 73 Days

Total No days Absentism in a Year = 73 Days
Total No of Present in a Year = 292 Days
Total No of EL in a Year = 292/20 = 15 Days

Workers may take the number of days they would normally work in a 6-week period for sick leave on full pay in a 3-year period.
However, during the first 6 months of employment, workers are only entitled to 1 day of paid sick leave for every 26 days worked.
Based on Legislation in Section 22, of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act

The Leave Entitlement pattern is:
Earned leave:
1. Under factories' Act:
One day for every 20 days worked. It works out to 15 days ina year.
2. Under Shops Act (Delhi):
Five days for every four months' of working. it works out to 15 days ina calendar year.
Casual & Sick Leave:
Normally the two are clubbed to make it 12 days. Under some state laws it is 6 days Sick Leave and 7 days' CL.
The Company I worked for:
1. EL : 30 Days
2. CL & Sick 12 days
3. national & Festival Holidays: 12 days.
Trust this answers your query.
