Central government employees get 15 days of paid paternity leave, to be taken within 6 months of the child's birth (CCS Leave Rules, Rule 43A), for up to two surviving children. There is no national law requiring paternity leave in the private sector, so it depends on company policy; 5 to 15 days is common.
