Is It Mandatory for Companies to Close on Election Day? Seeking Legal Insights

suhritaguin

Dear All,

I have learned that most companies will be closed tomorrow for elections. I would like to know if there is any law stating that it is mandatory for companies to have the day off tomorrow. Please reply as soon as possible so that I can bring this to the attention of management.

Thank you.

Dear,

Yes, it should be declared as a paid holiday. Notification issued by the Chief Election Commissioner is attached for your reference.

Thank you.
