Seeking Reliable Sources for Understanding Bereavement Leave Policy in Indian Labour Law

Hello Team,

Could anyone provide me with a link to a proper Labour Law site where details are given for the 'Bereavement Leave Policy in Labour Law'?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Buddy,

As far as my knowledge goes, there is no bereavement leave provision in labor laws. However, it falls under the company's leave policy, which means organizations can frame their own leave policy by accommodating such leaves.

Bereavement Leave Policy

This leave is granted as paid time off from work for employees due to the death of a relative. Employees are eligible for up to 7 days of leave, if necessary, in the event of the death of an immediate family member (defined as parents, grandparents, siblings, spouse, children, and in-laws). This leave is generally provided for the demise of a close relative and depends on the policies framed by the organization. This leave is not legally entitled but is an innovative approach to HR policies in some private firms.
