Dear Rajesh,
You cannot change the public holiday for 26th January. The option you have is to call in the minimal number of employees to work if necessary and pay them double salary for the day, along with compensatory time off as well.

Dear Rajesh Kumar,
Have you raised the query just because this forum provides the facility of raising queries? 26th January is celebrated as Republic Day. On this day, India became a sovereign republic. This day was chosen to promulgate the constitution of India because 26th January has special significance in the annals of history.
Why do you wish to disregard all of this and want to change Republic Day for the sake of your business? There is a limit to which personal requirements are placed above the nation's requirements!

The question is not properly phrased, is what I believe. Either the query ought to be if a company can ask its employees to work on a public/national holiday and/or replace the said holiday with some other holiday. Certainly, you do not mean to change the Republic Day itself.

3 National Holidays (26th January, 15th August, & 2nd October) and 1st May are compulsory to be allowed as paid holidays to employees, besides a minimum of 4 festival holidays (to be finalized with the representatives of the employees) under the Industrial Establishments (National & Festival Holidays) Act of different states. Also, Polling days for Lok Sabha & state legislative assembly are also to be allowed as compulsory paid holidays.
In case any employee is called for duty due to exigency on any paid holiday, he, at his option, may be allowed one substitute holiday with full wages on any other day within 6 months or be paid one day's extra wage in addition to the wage for the said paid holiday.

To all seniors on this forum,
Request: Can't this type of query be disregarded? Don't we know that national holidays are granted to celebrate our nation's proud moments on these dates?

Dear All,
How many shops close their shutters on national holidays to celebrate our nation's proud moments on these dates? How many shops and establishments follow the rules for working on national holidays? Are they providing Form-V-A (which may differ for different state/central establishments) signed to the Labor Department to work on national holidays and ensuring compliance with all labor laws? The fact is, there are loopholes; let's identify them and move forward.

Dear Chennaiin,
I hope that you can very well distinguish and understand the difference between changing a holiday in its entirety and requiring employees to work on such a holiday due to business exigencies. I also believe that every State National and Festival Holidays Act recognizes the necessity of operating certain industrial establishments such as transportation, communication, medical services, continuous process industries, etc., even on public holidays in the interest of the public as well as the impossibility of shutting down operations. That's why the options of taking the holiday, working with double wages, or having an alternative holiday within three days before or after the holiday are provided to employees under the Acts.
Therefore, we cannot criticize the operation of such establishments on holidays as unpatriotic or view the legal choices given as loopholes. In my opinion, a negative response is appropriate when faced with incorrect or misleading phrasing in the query, despite the presence of lawful options in the statute.
