Hi,
If your Establishment is covered under Shops and Establishment Act you will be required to provide 12 days PL or EL once the employee completes one year of service with your Organisation.
As per Kerala Shops and Establishment Act
13.Annual leave with wages.-(1) Every employee in an establishment shall be entitled
after twelve months’ continuous service in that establishment, to holidays with wages for
a period of twelve days, in the subsequent period of twelve months, provided that such
holidays with wages may be accumulated up to a maximum period of twenty-four days.

Does this 24 leaves include the el , cl and all other leaves? For example our company is providing 15 CL and SL. So the el + this 15 leaves can be 27 total leaves right.

Mr. Laxinarayan has given you the explanation. But let me add to it. Let me take your query as is it mandatory that we should forward EL/PL? Right?
It is not mandatory that you should 'accumulate' your PL/EL. PL/EL will accrue to you once you complete 12 months with the organisation and in the current year you can either avail it or forward it. It is forwarded to next year along with the leave earned in the current year. The Kerala Shops....Act permits accumulation of leave to a maximum of 24 days. As such, if you already have 24 days leave to your credit, you cannot carry it forward to next year but you should avail it.

One more question:
What are the alternatives to restrict the employees from taking over leaves?
For example, there is a procedure of leave encashment, the same like what are the other ways.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
