However, the Government has amended the Revised Leave Rules, 1981 on October 30th, 2012 and now a male civil servant can take paternity leave of a maximum of 10- days outside his leave account immediately on or after the birth of a child.
However, this paternity leave in full pay is only allowed two times during the entire service.
