Dear Sandeep
There is no need to opt as holiday for those days. You can select your own holiday list and submit the same for approval from appropriate authorities.
Make sure that on 26 Jan, 15 Aug and 02 Oct your office should not function.
With warm regards.

In Gujarat we have not declared Paid Holiday during 2010. When I discussed with my previous boss, he informed that National Holidays are only 26 Jan, 15 Aug, 02 Oct. If it falls on Sunday, Make sure that no one works in work premises. You can opt some other day as per your company's Wish.

Dear Sandeep,
If it has been the practice to declare May day and Gandhi Jayanthi as a holiday, then you might as well consider declaring two more days as holidays in lieu of this. If you do so then you need not pay extra wages.

Shops & Commercial Activity Act says that:
[HTML]Every employee in an establishment shall be allowed –
(a) a holiday with wages on the Independence day (15 Aug),
Republic day (26 Jan), and Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday (2 Oct);
and (b) three other holidays with wages in a year in connection
with such festivals as Government may declare from time to
time by notification.
Provided that an employee required to work on any such
holiday should be paid remuneration at double the rate of
his normal wages calculated by the hour.

However, this is the minimum requirement of the government. An Establishment may declare any number of paid holidays, as it may deem fit, in addition to above.
