Paternity leave for private sector employees in karnataka

Adminshreeji
Can anyone please tell me what is the number of paternity day leave allotted to private employees in Karnataka as per the Shops & Establishments Act?

Dear friend,

To the best of my knowledge, paternity leave has not been introduced so far in any establishment-specific labor law in our country. The pity is that most of the working women are indirectly pressured by their employers to leave their jobs the moment it is known that they are pregnant, as of now, in view of the enhanced maternity benefit under the Maternity Benefit Act of 1961.

Learned members from Karnataka may shed more light on the matter.
