District & Sessions Judge has been provided with power to exhaust/declare 2/3 holidays out of list provided by his particular High Court. The holidays mentioned in that list are optional holidays.

There are three national holidays (Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti) which occur on the same day every year. Most other religious holidays occur on different days, because the Hindu and Islamic festivals are based on their respective calendars and not on the Gregorian calendar.

Not all holidays are celebrated with equal fervour, or celebrated at all in all regions of the country. Different regions might give somewhat different names to the same festival. To cater to varying religious practices, offices have a list of optional holidays (called restricted holidays by the government) from which employees are allowed to pick, in addition to the list of fixed holidays. This may means thin attendance and delayed service even when the office is officially open.
