India does not have a dedicated law for paternity leave, but government employees are eligible for 15 days of leave. However, paternity leave policies vary across private sector organizations.
Current Landscape:
- Government Employees: Receive 15 days of paternity leave.
- Private Sector: Paternity leave depends on company policies, with some companies offering up to 2 weeks of paid leave.
Conclusion: Advocacy for paternity leave is growing, but there’s no uniform regulation.
