Hi,
National and Festival Holiday Act, which is applicable to all establishments in the country, irrespective of under which law it is formed it is mandatory to grant leave on following 3 days, i.e. 26th January (Republic Day), 15th August (Independence Day) and 2nd October (Gandhi Jayanti). For rest of the festival holidays the declaration depends on the discretion of the concerned States and establishments. Number of festive holidays can differ from state to state.
All the organisations need to remain closed on the three national holidays. But incase due to some reasons if the organisation needs to be functioning on these days, they need to take prior approval from concerned authority. And the employees those are functioning are entitled to get double wages for the day.

National and Festival Holidays Act is a State legislation.Some States might not have enacted it. In those States, the Shops and Establishment Act need to be referred, if your firm is one covered by Shops Act.

Dear all respected seniors,
Thank you for providing such great information, but my organisation is not providing any alternate holiday no extra wages, not even halfday or holiday.
Because its a retail chain. and approximately 200 employees are working here.
what I'm suppose to do, in such case when even they are not ready to listen these things.

Dear Mr. Kumud,
As rightly said by Mr. Balaji, One has to observe Four National Holidays (mandatory) and Five festival holidays as per statutory norms for both Factories Act as well as S & E Act. National Holidays are fixed and the days have been mentioned in the message by Mr. Balaji. The other five festival holidays lies in the prerogative of the company . Approval of Form-V by the Inspector of Factories and Labour Department by 30th Nov is also must.
