Dear Mr. Manu Nair,
If my understanding is correct, you are from Karnataka.
If that is the case, I would like to clarify that casual leaves are not considered statutory leaves under either the Factories Act read with Karnataka Rules or the Karnataka Shops and Establishment Act.
However, it is within the discretion of the company to credit casual leaves to its employees in accordance with the leave policy, which may vary from company to company as there is no legal bar on this.
Typically, such leaves are credited from the employee's date of joining.

Under the Karnataka Shops and Establishments Act, there is no provision for casual leave, but an employee can take leave on the grounds of any sickness, accident sustained by them, or any other reasonable cause. The number of such leaves is 12 days, and they will run from their current year of joining. Therefore, if a day of absence is required on any grounds which are 'reasonable' for the employer, it can be granted as leave.
