Hey,
As your query about Restricted Holiday. I know something about that according to me : -
"Restricted holiday along gazetted holiday can be combined as prefix with earned leave?" -
It means Restricted holiday is tha holiday which we can take apart from the gazetted holiday list. In other words we can if we have a list of ten gazetted holiday now we take one more holiday apart from that list.
Hope now you must understand.
Thanks

Hello friends,
Can I go on leave from 21.10.15 to 29.10.15 with the counting of earned leave from 26.10.15 to 29.10.15 (4 days)? 21st is gazetted, 22nd is a Restricted holiday, and the 23rd and 24th are gazetted. The 25th is a Sunday.

What is a restricted holiday?
Restricted holidays are the holidays which an employee can avail from the list of Gazetted/restricted holidays. Furthermore, these are the holidays only for employees and not for the organization or government departments. Their offices do not close on that day.
In India, restricted holidays are provided to employees to accommodate the festival and cultural diversity of India. People of Punjab celebrate with gusto the lovely festival of Baishakhi, but it is not celebrated all over India; however, Punjabi folks all over India celebrate it, making this holiday very important for them. Likewise, Tamil people observe Pongal, but not every state does, so Pongal can be a restricted holiday for Tamil employees to celebrate.
This highlights the need to provide restricted holidays to employees of different cultural backgrounds to show respect for our cultural pluralism. By doing so, the government has satisfied the people of different religions.
I hope this gives a background on restricted holidays.

One of our employees has applied for half-pay leave for the period 31/07/2017 - 04/08/2017 and 7th August as RH. The employee is going abroad. 5th & 6th August are the weekend. 7th August is a restricted holiday on account of Rakhi. Under this situation, RH being suffixed after the weekend, can we ignore the weekend, or should it be counted in continuation to the period already applied i.e., half-pay leave applied for the period 31/07/2017 - 04/08/2017 to be continued for 5th & 6th August, thereafter permit RH to be suffixed.
Your clarification on the above would be greatly appreciated.
