Hello,
There is no concept of "paid holidays" under the Factories Act unlike inthe Shops and Commercial establishments Act.
Factories Act provides only for the earned leave where briefly speaking one has to work for 240 day in a calendar year to be eligible to eran leave, which he/she earns @ one day fro every 20 days worked.
If you have something else in mind please focus your question more sharply!!!

Hello,
There are no compulsory paid holidays beyond the leave earned by an employee as explained.
Paid holiday is conceptually different from leave. On a PaidHoliday the establishment (in your case the factory) remains closed.
But when people take leave (earned) or even absent themselves even unauthorizedly, the establishment is working as normal, albeit without them!
Is the difference now acceptable? Please don't look for "paid holidays" in a factory UNLESS thecompany has agreed with Union of employees to grant some days as paid holidays or has on its own decided (irrespective of any legal compulsion) to grant some days as paid leave!
Cheers.

Hello, generally these are mutually finalised with the Union, but generally in factories, it would be total of 7 or 8 paid holidays. Anything additional would be upto the Management.
One cannot exclude Independence Day, Labour Day & Gandhi Jayanti, from the list of paid holidays. Rest is upto the employer. Election day - as and when required - if you are smart you can add a rider to your agreement and adjusted in the total of 7 or 8 sanctioned paid holidays.
