The leaves are normally governed by the Factories Act in case of manufacturing industry and Shops and establishment act of the state for industries other than manufacturing.
Since, in IT/ITES there is no manufacturing activity, we are governed by the shops and establishment act of the state that we are located in.
Leaves are a matter of right conferred to the employees by the any of the above mentioned two acts. However, prior approval is a must in cases other than sick leaves.
