Sir, how many days can we take leave in a limited company for our own marriage purposes?

To the best of my knowledge, I don't think there is any organization in India, either in the public sector or the private sector, that has included "Marriage Leave" as a separate and special type of leave with wages/salary to be granted to employees in its Leave Policy. I also believe that this is the case in the rest of the world, with the exception of a few countries such as China, Spain, Poland, and Malta.

The general practice in India, as far as I can observe, is that employees, on the occasion of their marriage, which is usually well-planned in advance, utilize their earned leave for about 10 to 15 days with the prior approval of their employers.

Hi,

It is company-specific. There is no statutory requirement for separate marriage leave. However, some private sector companies follow a separate leave policy for marriage for employees, which they can combine with other leaves. If your company doesn't have separate marriage leave, then you need to avail it from your accrued leave balance.
