Dear Members,
I am aware that number of Holidays to be observed/given is a State Subject.
Am also aware of few states where the number is clearly specified.However I could not find number of Holidays ( not talking about leave) specified anywhere in the Est Act of Delhi.
Kindly share minimum number of Holidays required to be observed excluding National Holidays in Delhi state as per Est Act of the Delhi State .

Dear Members,
Extract from the Delhi Est Act only states that no number is fixed, which does not satisfy me.Extract is as under--
Sub-section 13—”Holiday”
Holidays are off days granted by the employer to the employees either voluntarily or
compulsorily under the force of law. The Dictionary meaning of a ‘Holiday’ is ‘A day on which
ordinary occupations (of an individual or a community) are suspended; a day of festivity,
recreation or amusement’. (Oxford English Dictionary, Vol. V). The introduction of paid holidays
for workers, both in law, and in practice, is based on the one hand on the ‘employees’ right to
leisure and to the opportunity of developing his personality and, on the other, on the necessity of
preserving or restoring his health and strength in the interests of production and service to be
rendered. Holidays with pay, if they are properly utilized, may provide a real and complete escape
from the ideal means of relaxation and afford abundant opportunity of gaining material and social
experience under different conditions and workers generally undertake factory work because of
necessity.
Employees return to their jobs with fresh enthusiasm and renewed reserves of strength after
spending their holidays under suitably restful conditions. This is confirmed by the conclusion
reached in the many recent studies of the psychology or work, especially in the field of
productivity. The quicker industrial rhythm and the monotony of the work caused by modern
mechanization render it essential to grant regular rest periods if workers are not to succumb to
physical overstrain and to the weakening of their morale and if their health and working capacity
are to be preserved. However, there are no fixed holidays and/or prescribe under the Act.
