Mr./Ms Anonymous,
Your academic query, "Can an MNC under Shops & Establishment Act (ITES - Back office of a Leading UK Bank in Telengana) deduct Salary or Leaves in lieu of (forced) National Holidays including Gandhi Jayanthi falling on a Working day" has no relevance unless you give proper description of the problem, whether the holiday occurs in betwenn the period of leave or deduction made for enjoying single day as a holiday on account of Gandhi Jayanti.
Notwithstanding prefix or suffix of holiday, if the holiday occurs in between the leave period of the employee, the day of Gandhi Jayanti would be treated as a part of leave, irrespective of whether the leave is of paid or unpaid nature.
