Hello Everybody,
Can anyone tell me the minimum holidays and types of holidays which are mandatory to be given to employees? My clients are in Mumbai.
Can you also guide me with the right Act for reference.
Regards,

Mr.Smidas
As per Bombay Shops and Establsihments Act, there are four national holidays namely 26 th January(Republic day), 15th August(Independance Day),1st May(May day-maharstra day) and 2nd October(Gandhi Jayanti). Apart from this, the Government Maharastra declares at the biginning of the year a list of holidays (including the above) under the Negotiable Instruments Act.To my knowledge there is no other statute providing for other holidays like festival holidays similar to the ones namely Festival and National holidays Act in force in some other states like Karnataka or Delhi.

Hello Mr Saikumar :
Can we give option to our employees to avail an optional holiday against 1st May and 2nd October. Our is a IT company, I am exploring the various options as most of our employees work on 2nd October and as you may be aware that in IT there is no payout of overtime etc.
Please advice.

Hello Gia
In that event, the employee shall be paid double the amount of daily average wages and also compensatory off in lieu of working on a national holiday in terms of Sec.35(4) of the Bombay Shops Act 1948.
