Compensation for Holiday By PSU Clerk for Election Duties

I AM AT PRESENT WORKING WITH A PSU BANK AND BEEN ASKED FOR ELECTION DUTIES, BY CEO, N 24 PGS, WEST BENGAL. UNLIKE OTHERS I WAS CALLED FOR 1ST TRAINING ON A SUNDAY (MY WEEKLY HOLIDAY), AND OTHER ON FRIDAY (GOOD FRIDAY - MY ANOTHER HOLIDAY).

THE USUAL800/- TOWARDS TA, AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN PAID TO PAY FOR WORKING AS  A 1ST POLLING OFFICER.

MY BANK MANAGEMENT HAS REFUSED TO COMPENSATE THOSE HOLIDAYS IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER !!

MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THE DISTRICT ELECTION OFFICER CAN CALL ME FOR DUTIES ON ELECTION DUTIES ON MY HOLIDAYS, WITHOUT COMPENSATING FOR IT ?

WHAT ARE THE LAWS/REGULATIONS EMPOWERING THE DISTRICT ELECTION OFFICER, TO CALL ME FOR DUTIES ON HOLIDAYS, WITHOUT COMPENSATING FOR IT.

PLEASE HELP AND ADVISE

You are not the first and last person attending election duty on weekly off.  Even teachers attend such duties during vacations. Appreently nby tradition your entitlement is not more than TA/DA. You can move to appropriate appellate forum and lakhs will pray for you if you are able to get rpecedent of compensation in liue of such hopliday.
