Dear All,
We are a Software company in Bangalore. April 14 2009 being "Ambedkar Jayanthi" and now being recognised as a National Festival - is it mandatory for all companies to declare a Holiday on that day? As per our Holiday list shared with our employees in the beginning of 2009, we have not declared a holiday on April 14 2009.
Request the HR's from Software companies (with your company name) to let me know whether you have declared a holiday on 14th April 2009? just want to know how many companies have a holiday.
thanks and regards

well, I am looking for the similar answer. We haven't declared Ambedkar janthi as holiday as well, considering that it's something related to just UP.
Found here that Travel India Guide Calendar
14th is Baisakhi as well. Someone please update on this.


hi As Ambedkar Jayanthi is not a National Holiday like Gandhi Jayanthi so it is not in the list of compulsory holiday. Decision of declaring a Holiday is purely companies decision. thanks padmaja

Dear Navya,
As per my understanding only 4 days has been declared as National holidays. Ambedkar Jayanthi has been declared as holiday by some states, which is not mandatory if you have already complied with total no. of holidays to be declared.
