Yes, there is a leave associated with the demise of a family member in Navi Mumbai, India. It is called bereavement leave.
Bereavement leave is a period of paid time off that is granted to employees after the death of a close family member. The amount of bereavement leave that is offered varies from employer to employer. In Navi Mumbai, most employers offer between 3 and 5 days of bereavement leave.
To request bereavement leave, you will need to provide your employer with a death certificate and a written request. The request should state the name of the deceased, the date of death, and the relationship between the deceased and you.
You should also let your manager know when you expect to return to work.

Yes. Bereavement OR Funeral Leave can be granted.
I am happy to state that while offering my HR Consulting services, I could introduce this type of leave in two medium sized organisations as a part of employee engagement and retention initiatives. During death of a closed family member, the person should not feel pressured about work or leave consumption and should get some time to recover from the grief - this is the intention of Bereavement leave. Apart from the suggestions above, 2 points from my side -
1. Closed family member to be spouse, children, sibling, parents and in-laws
2. Allow this leave to be prefixed or suffixed with CL or EL, if required
