Hi
Please check your state Govt. Shops & Establishment rules if you fall under it. In some states leave of about 8 per year is allowed to be encashed after minimum availing of 5 ELs per year. You can accumulate a maximum of 60 leaves. Most of the organizations have 15 EL, 6 Sick and 6 Casual leaves. Check your company policy on leaves if it is better than the one under Shops and Establishment, no harm in following it, else Govt. rules prevail. If you have completed 5 1/2 years in the company, your leaves ought to be roughly 15x5+15/12 x number of months you had completed in the last year less the leaves availed. Also note that you are eligible for Casual and/or Sick leaves too though they are not to be carried forward, lapses at the end of every calendar year.
Thanks and Regards
