That was valuable information. As per the TN Shops & Establishment Act, the EL entitlement is 12 days, which can be accumulated to 24 days. Please let me know if my leave exceeds 24 days, for example, 28 days in the 3rd year of my service. Will the company have to pay for the remaining 4 days, or will they be lapsed? Kindly also specify the rule or section where I can find this information in the TN Shops & Establishment Act.

You can accumulate earned leave (EL) for a maximum of 90 days. Today's scenario varies from company to company. Some companies will credit 30 days in advance at the start of the year and will carry forward 15 days to the next year if the leave balance is more than 15 days. Any other remaining leave will lapse. In the following year, 30 days will be added to the 15 days.
Leave Accumulation Details
30 days of earned leave is derived from 2.5 days per month. For more details on the rules, please refer to the first page of the TN S & E Act manual soft copy.

Dear Mr. Dipil Kumar V,
In case you have not got clarity on this registration part in Tamil Nadu, we would like to clarify that it is not required to obtain a registration certificate under the TN Shops & Establishment Act, and there are no official formalities to do so. Instead, each establishment must obtain formal approval from the authority under the TN Industrial Establishments (National & Festival Holidays) Act, 1958. This approval is known as the "Festival Holidays Approval."
In the context of Tamil Nadu, this approval is considered a Certificate of Registration and is mandatory to obtain. Please feel free to write to us if you need any further clarification.
Thank you.

No provision is made for the number of employees under the Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishment Act. This Act applies even if you have only one employee in your establishment. However, you may be exempt from submitting returns and maintaining registers based on your establishment's employee count. There is a provision in "The Labour Laws (Exemption from furnishing Returns and Maintaining Registers by Certain Establishments) Act, 1988."
Please let me know if you need further clarification or assistance.
