Dear Indrani !
In Holidays declaration we have to follow the following system :
i) Compulsory Holidays (National Holidays)
ii) Other Festival Holidays
iii) Optional Holidays.
Under the Factories (National & Festival Holidays) Act,1974 the following are Compulsory Holidays :
1. 26th January (Republic Day)
2. 1st May ( May Day )
3. 15th August ( Independence Day )
4. 2nd October ( Gandhi Jayanthi )
Inclusive of above Compulsory Holidays every establishment has to declare minimum 8 holidays, as per the Act.
Apart from the above said minimum holidays, normally several organisations will give 2 or 3 optional holidays.
You can allot them Holidays in Optional Holidays.

Hi Indrani
I went through your query and found it is a really cumbersome topic to decide the
number of days should be alloted for gazetted holidays apart from national holidays.
I prepared a chart for my company for the national holidays and gazetted holidays
to be provided to my employees without any bias to any religion. I think if holiday is
given then it must be for everybody and not for single community or religious group
which I saw in many giant manufacturing companies.
Please go through the attachment and get the data clear.
If you'll face any query please feel free to revert it back.
Thanks & regards

Hi Indrani,
It is very unfair to deprieve any community from enjoying a holiday on their major festivals be it Hindu or Muslim or Christian or Sikh. Such religious biasness may harm the reputation of the Company. Since 10 holidays have already been fixed for the current year suggest pick up one or two holidays which has no connection with religion and adjust them with Id or Muharram as the case may be. If that is not possible convince ur top management to work on a Sunday in lieu of ID or Muharram. Even if that does not work out convince ur management to sanction special leave only to those 3 muslim guys. From next year onwards u have to prepare a mixture of holidays involving all religious festivals.
Hope good senses will prevail upon ur management

Dear Indrani,
Kindly share your present list of holidays, so that we can guide you accordingly.
You can always compensate atleast one or two muslim holidays in the main list.
Moreover, a company must respect all the religions equally no matter minority or majority to maintain harmonious relations among the employees and management.
Thanks,

Hi
As suggested by our seniors and dear members already, its very ridiculous to see the festivals and holidays on relegious front.
It is better to declare the holidays mixed with all the relegions covered thereby.
My suggestion goes as above.

I will be very grateful to you if you can answer to certain queries with regard to holidays declared for religious festivals .I work for a medium/small sized IT firm as HR executive.Earlier we had only hindu staff in our office so we declared holiday on Holi,Diwali etc.Very recently we have recruited 3 people who are muslim.Now these people will require a leave during Muslim Festivals like Id Muharram etc .The managment is not willing to increase the total number of holidays declared.
There can be only one option that I can think of from my side that they can take a holiday during id or muharram and they can come and work on diwali to compensate the work but then again in that case one of the person from the management side has to come to office on that day
I am in a fix can you please suggest me an alternative for this ?
Thanks and Regards
