Hi

I am not sure about 07 days compulsory holidays. As far as I understand, it is governed through national holidays and festivals Act and under this, only 3 holidays are compulsory i.e. 26th January (republic Day), 15th August (independence Day) and 02nd October (Gandhi Jayanti)

Every organisation usually allow 10 to 12 holidays in a year. Some of the organisation make it flexible by way of compulsory and optional holiday

As per the Shops and Establishment Act there should be compensatory off or twice the regular wages

Holidays to be declared for commercial establishemnts and factories is governed by a State Act  generally called INDUSTRIAL ESTABLISHMENTS and FACTORIES (National, Festival and Other Holidays) Act prefixed with the name of concerned State. In some states Shops and Establishments Act also provides for declaration of paid holidays. In such case the specific Act of holidays prevails over the generic Shops and Establishment Act.

Please check the holidays Act of your State to find answers to your queries. Republic Day (26th Jan), Independence Day (15th August) and Gandhi Jayanthi (2nd October) are National Holidays and to be declared mandatorily. Same has been provided in the every State Act on hoildays. In some Staes like Andhra Pradesh, May Day (1st May) is also delred as National Holiday. In some other Staes like Karnataka, May Day(1st May) and State Formation Day (1st Nov) are to be declared as mandatory holidays.

Therefore, please check the holidyas Act in your State.

Sir, I would like to whether a CA article working in a firm is entitiled for Gazatted Holiday.

Can you please give us the specific statute or backing for the statement made in the first paragraph?
