Is it a genuine query ??
I am surprised to see such query from the member who professes to be an HR GENERALIST.
Ignorance of Law is not an excuse; especially for a HR professional knowledge of such provisions is a must.
Raising or having such basic queries, question the competence and education of such concerned HR and invite ridicule for the profession.
Warm regards.

In India, it is MANDATORY , to give a Holiday(Fully paid leave) on ALL the National Holidays and also on the National / State/ Municipal/ Local Election day.

"wearing helmets was made mandatory for pedal cyclists"
synonyms: obligatory, compulsory, binding, required;
An Indian employee, on work abroad, may be expected to work on these days,with compensatory off in future.
However,in Special Industries like Hospital, hotel, Air transport, Rail transport etc. exceptions may be made WITH a provision for a Compensatory off (fully paid Leave).
Kindly correct me, if needed.
National holidays are observed in all states and union territories.

@adityaoak
Dear Sir, the List of Holidays in Maharashtra is more than 4. The List of Govt. Holidays in India,on a STATE level, differs according to the diff states.
I believe they are NOT included under NATIONAL holidays.
May 1 is a Universal Labor day and hence a Holiday, though it also Happens to be THE Maharashtra Day, & that's a different issue.
I am not aware of it being considered as a National holiday in India.
Kindly correct me, if so.
