Hi, I am working in an IT sevices company. Please let me know if there is any change in Paternity Act as we are giving 2 days paternity leaves to our employees. Thanks in advance. Sweta

I have not come across any Act by the name Paternity Act similar to the Maternity Benefit Act. However, I understand that there is a provision for paternity leave in the service rules of some companies, for which you need to frame a policy.

I fully agree with Mr. Sai Kumar and Mr. Pon. There is no Paternity Act in force in India. However, as rightly said by Mr. Sai Kumar, there is a provision for Paternity Leave in some companies. Therefore, please refer to the policy, and if it requires amending, consult the management and make the necessary amendments accordingly.
