Actor Anuskha Sharma and her husband, Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli, became parents to a girl on January 11. While the Indian team is on a tour to Australia, Kohli came back to India after the first Test, on paternity leave.
About:
Unlike maternity leave, which is legally mandated, the private sector is not bound to provide paternity leave in India.
There is a legal stipulation for central government employees –– a “male civil servant (including an apprentice, probationer) with less than two surviving children may be granted Paternity Leave for a period of 15 days before or up to six months from the date of delivery of the child.”
The “less than two surviving children” means the employee can take paternity leaves only for his first two children.
Thus, the decision on how long a paternity leave they wish to provide rests with a particular company.
