Dear Pratik-Parmar1,
In India, there is no Furlough. Furlough means forced leave to employees. In Defence Force, there is a system of sending officer on forced leave with half pay, as what is told to me by some one, that they call Furlough.
Similar to Furlough, in India we have provision of Lay-off under ID Act.
