Government Holidays

Mr. Balaji

The national & festival holidays are declared based on the Act.  No organization can decide about the declaration of National Holidays.  Only festival holidays can be declared by the employer based on the requirement of the employees of the organization.  However once the employer submitted / filed the list of festival holidays to the labour department it can not be changed.  There is no requirement to follow the government declared holidays to the organizations.

Pratheep is right. As per my information - Festival leaves are entirely dependent on what the company  decleares  . The compulsory holidays  are Independence Day , Republic Day and Gandhi Jayanthi. Labour or May day is  optional.
Normally Leave  days  for festival varies   between   8 to 14 days
