Dear Abbas
We keep saying national and Festival Holidays Act and You now ask which ACT??
It is not your thinking which will matter..but it is the legal position which will matter
National and festival holidays are common for all factories and shops and establishments
There is nio law which says this is applicable for factories only Please read the Legislations once again

Dear Sir,
I am a little confused on this. Can you help me with National and Festival Act ( bare act) as applicable to Delhi. I got to know that Punjab Industrial establishments ( National and Festival Holidays) Act is applicable to Delhi but its for Industry Establishments only.
Would be great if you could clarify this.

Dear Samar
I worked in Delhi for five years from 1976 to 1980 and that is my knowledge about Delhi. Punjab National and Festival Holidays act is applicable to Delhi State. It covers all establishments excluding Govt Offices.I do not remember the number of days but I am certain it is minimum of 9 days
I will try to get a copy in chennai and if i can get hold I will send more clarifications
Easier thing is to check with some chamber of commerce
Punjab haryan chamber of commerce is aleways active and they will give clarification

Dear All,
I have gone through the conversation and in regards to the same, would like to ask if there are 11 holidays mentioned in the standing order (which includes national holidays) and an additional holiday is being given by the factory, then what is the process? Since we have given Raksha Bandhan holiday but it is not mentioned in the standing order.
1. Is it that the same has to be informed to the inspector of factories or amended in the standing order before giving, or can it be done after giving? (I don't think so.)
2. Also, is it required to be posted on the notice board beforehand? (It can be done.)
3. For an additional holiday given (other than those in the standing order), if both above are not required as it is an additional holiday that the factory is giving other than that mentioned in the standing order, may not be required but if done, it will become mandatory to be provided.
4. Also, for an additional holiday like the above instance, is it compulsory that if it is given in a particular year, then it has to be continued? (I don't think so, it is at the factory's will, but those mentioned in the standing order will be compulsorily given.)
I am asking this because nothing specific is mentioned about holidays in the Factories Act except that what is prevalent, i.e., national holidays with a few festival holidays counting somewhere around 11 or so.
I am also providing my views at the end of each point.
Look forward to your noble views in this regard and additional views if skipped by me.
Thanks, all...

It is to be noted that no permission from Inspectors of Factories (and Boilers) or Shops and Commercial Establishments is required to declare a particular day as a holiday. But in order to require employees to work on a day declared as a holiday as per Standing Orders or the list of holidays published at the commencement of each year, you will require the permission of the Inspector under the state's Industrial Establishment (National and Festival Holidays) Act, normally the Asst/District Labour Officer or Commissioner who is the appropriate authority under the said Act.
Therefore, just declaring it on the notice board will serve the purpose. If you want to observe the same as a holiday for the coming years also, you can go ahead with an amendment of the Standing Orders at a later date. Since this is a matter of an additional holiday, and the management is ready to provide it, there will not be any protest from the workers, and the amendment can be easily done.
