Accepted answer

Article 14 of the Visa Code https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32009R0810&from=EN covers Supporting Documents and states that the applicant should present “(d) information enabling an assessment of the applicant’s intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the visa applied for.”

Within Annex II (Non exhaustive list of supporting documents) of the Code, “proof of employment” is listed as one of the documents allowing for the above assessment to be made. There is no mention of a NOC however VFS practice seems to extend proof of employment to include confirmation of approval of holidays https://www.vfsglobal.se/india/pdf/Sweden-Check-List-For-Tourist-Visa.pdf
