Gazetted Officer is not entitled to any compensatory off or OTA.

Dear Biju,

The whole time of the Government servant is at the disposal of the Government. You are entitled to avail weekly off days and declared holidays, but as a Gazetted Officer you are not entitled to any compensation or compensatory off for any such closed day or holiday, if called for duty for office work.

I have chanced upon the following:

Government of India

New Delhi, dated the 11th August, 1976

Office Memorandum

Subject: Overtime Allowance to Central Government employees.

2. Eligibility

All non-gazetted Central Government servants and also gazetted Government servants who fall in the excepted category mentioned at para 5(a) of these orders, paid from Civil Estimates (including those working in the Union Territories Administration) of the following categories, Vis. (i) office staff and (ii) those staffs whose prescribed hours and nature of work are comparable to those of “Office staff” shall in future, be governed by these orders.

Administrative Ministries will be competent to decide, in consultation with their Internal Financial Advisers, as to which staff falls in category (ii) above. The Comptroller & Auditor General of India will exercise that power in respect of the staff of the Indian Audit and Accounts Department.
