2) All married mail employees are eligible to avail the paternity leave.
3) The Employee should have completed 6 months of service with the company to be eligible to avail paternity leave.
Entitlement:
1)Paternity leave can be availed only twice during the service of the Employee.
2) Paternity leave can be availed for a maximum period of 3 to 5 days.

Hi Chitra
Paternity leave is the leave provided to the male employees with less than two surviving children during the delivery of new child. The no of days vary company to company and it is three days in our company.
Paternity Leave shall not be debited against the leave account and if paternity leave is not availed within the period, it will be treated as lapsed.
There is no law or act having provision for paternity leave, so it is under the sole discretion of the company.
Seniors correct me if I am wrong.
