Hi All,
Just Wanted to Confirm which Information(1. or 2.) is Correct for an ITeS Pvt. Ltd. Co. in West Bengal :
1. Leaves as per Shops and Est Act -- 1. PL - 14
2. SL- 7
3. CL- 10
Indian Holidays ( Diwali, 2nd October and So on ) : 10
These are the mandatory leaves that Company may allocate. But if someone Works in Indian Holidays Compensatory Off can be allocated Plus Extra pay on the Holiday they are working.
2. Leaves as Per Shops and Est Act -- 1. PL - 7
2. SL-7
3. CL- 7

These are the mandatory leaves that company has to allocate. There is nothing as Compensatory Off as per shops and Establishments Act.
Please let me know which of this is correct ?

Thanks kumar for helping me with this policy. However I was just wondering How BPOs function in West Bengal. As , if they provide all Indian Holidays and 31 Days (14 PL, 7 SL and 10 CL) , they would probably run out of business.
Please let me know if there is a Law or Rule that makes this possible for BPOs to function.
Thanks and Regards

Dear Anant,
Pl.see the list of Public Holidays published by the GoWB attached. As you know only the following are the compulsory public holidays in any year, all over India, meaning, reg.other days left to the individual estts.to modify to suit their operations:
1. Republic Day - 26th January
2. Dr.Ambedkar Jayanthi - 14th April
3. Independence Day - 15th August and
4. Gandhi Jayanthi - 2nd Oct.
I, am really surprised to see various lists of holidays in WB for different purposes/religion wise etc. This practice is unique for WB unlike other states. You know well, in India law breakers thrive compared to law abiding ones. This country can bear both of these categories despite onslaught from all sides that's the wonder and we still remain a strong democracy and with a reasonable sound economy/growth rate braving collapses witnessed in other emerging economies, of course ups & downs seen now and then.
