Dear Aks17,
Though you have given the benefit of doubt to the originator of the query, his intention is well clear. He has not asked whether employees can work on Republic Day.
For Chennaiin: - You have recommended Rajesh to find out a loophole and go ahead. Please note that while writing in a public forum, you cannot recommend how to be evasive. You must recommend elevated ideals or conduct. Secondly, the comparison of business entities with that of roadside shops is unfair. Laws are quite clear on who can work on Republic Day and what the alternatives available are.
For Amit: - Please note that "Rajesh" has raised the query and not "Dinesh."
Thanks,

Every business must seek to follow laws willingly. Finding loopholes is the main cause of problems in India, and it often leads to amendments in the law by the Government of India (GOI). Laws regarding National holidays are clear. If the nature of work requires an individual to work on a National holiday, the provisions for payment and time off are also clear. It is important to avoid evading, avoiding, or curtailing the privileges and provisions of the law.

Dear Mr. Rajesh,
To your knowledge, you could ask this question because of the reason you live in a Republic Country, and it is declared a public holiday across the country in remembrance of the freedom fighters who struggled for us.
Back to your question, on these days all institutions, irrespective of under which law they are covered, or whether they are public or private organizations or MNCs, should necessarily remain closed. But if for some reasons, on these national holidays, the employers wish to keep their organization functional, they need to obtain prior permission from concerned authorities. Also, the workers who work in the organization on these national holidays are entitled to receive double wages for the day.
Thank you

Dear Mr. Jacob,
"It is declared a public holiday across the country in remembrance of the freedom fighters who struggled for us."
Republic Day is a proud day for all of us to remember when India's constitution came into force on January 26, 1950, completing the country's transition toward becoming an independent republic. This question now has many clear answers and need not be pursued further, to my mind.

Dear all,
Sorry, the related posting was blown out of proportion I think. My apprehension was, how many are abiding by the law before opening the shops on public holidays. The "exigencies" status cannot be given to all entities.
