Hi All
This year I believe the Loabour Commissioner has declared a compulsory holiday on the day of elections. Is there a choice available for pvt. companies to keep themselves working on election day. Is there any ammendment or citation to that effect.

They cannot have a choice, according to Labour Act. Even private companies also fall under the purview of Labour Act, I hope so, but not definite.

yes they have no choice. because the workers in the company are also Indian citizen and the compay cannot curtail their rights.

Dear Shweta,
Under Govt. notification the Election Day can be declared as Holiday under Negotiable Instruments act. It is not mandatory to declare holiday, however, the organization should allow the employees to go to the polling station to the eligible voters to cast his/her vote.
