Kindly guide that the staff has many leaves in their leave bank such as CL/EL/ML, etc. Still, there are rules to deduct one day's salary if the staff is late more than thrice in a month and has leave balance. Can we do so in terms of legality?

Dear BSR,
Late incoming or early outgoing, if not authorized and approved by the controlling manager, will amount to absence. It's purely the call of the company how many such instances should be allowed to be condoned. For such incidences, you can deduct half a day for each late/early case.
However, you need to communicate about the same and consider the cultural change issues. It is advisable to proceed gradually; initially, allow three instances, then after another three months, allow two, and then only one instance in a month for being late or leaving early by more than 2 hours. This process needs to be approved by the respective controlling manager so he can certify that it is not for official duty.

Having leaves in employee account and attendance issues both are different issues. Where as ,I think its purely a company discretion to mark leave instead of half day deduction .

Habitual late-coming to resume allotted duty amounts to an act of misconduct within the meaning of standing orders or service rules, as the case may be. Effective management would NEVER "adjust" leave for the period of latecoming for any reason whatsoever. Permitting latecoming sets a bad precedent and directly and adversely affects the creation of wealth and the sense of organizational well-being - the true purpose of business. Exercise of discretion on the part of management needs to be effective.
