It is not clear from your query in which State your shop is located. Section 16(2) of The Delhi Shops & Establishment Act, 1954 provides as under:
Thus, the shops and establishments (unless specifically exempted under the Act, or by Notification) have to be closed on the three National Holidays. Non-compliance will entail / attract penal provisions.
