    • Dear Sir/Madam,

      My child was born on 02nd March 2017 and I joined Indian Railways on 06th April 2017. Now I have applied paternity leave and the administration is denying the same stating that I was not in service at the time of child birth. From the reply from Helper to Shivam on September 16, 2013 at 5:00 AM, I understood that I would be eligible for paternity leave. Request you to provide the relevant references/orders so that I can take it up with my administration. Please help me Sir/Madam.

      Regards,
      Harsha.
