India Leave Compliance Guide

Statutory Leave Requirements

Indian labor law mandates minimum earned leave, maternity benefit, and sick leave provisions depending on state and establishment size. Attend Mitra provides templates aligned with common Factory Act and Shops & Establishments Act requirements.

Customize templates to match your state's specific rules — Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and others have varying minimums.

  • Earned/privilege leave: typically 1 day per 20 days worked
  • Maternity benefit: 26 weeks as per Maternity Benefit Act
  • National and festival holidays per state notification

Configuring Holiday Calendar

Import the national holiday list and add state-specific festival holidays in Leave → Holiday Calendar. Holidays automatically exclude attendance requirements and prevent leave applications on those dates.
